Warning there are lots of pics Besides showing this off, before I can list it I need a date: I am thinking 20's 30's?? I haven't had a set this old in ages! Bias cut nightgown, lace inserts label is Real silk company ( this comapany dates from the 20's to 50's) and I know this is one of thier earlier labels, I had one once before. non loaded silk coffee colored lace, DH wanted to know what was wrong with it. "Is it that color from being so old" Haha! <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/180.jpg> <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/182.jpg> <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/184.jpg> <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/185.jpg> <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/186.jpg> <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/188.jpg> <img src=http://ftp.innernet.net/pcameron/aug/189.jpg>
Oh gosh, Pauline, that is just beautiful and PINK, too! I am no help on the date but I have had 40s with that type of bodice and bias cut skirt. What does Non Loaded mean??:o
not tin loaded, (washed with metalic salts) Oh and I forgot this company didn't do a whole lot during the war eras because of a silk shortage. Then after the 50's ( late ) they sold door to door. Its still in operation but another company bought it and I think it was munsingwear. (??)
Though I'm lost as far as dates are concerned, I just wanna pipe in that I love this! The satin is fresh as a daisy! The lace is fantastic. Many girls will want this for outerwear! kj
Kevin I looked at the nightgown and was reminded of a gown I had in the 90's and thought the same thing! Perfect for anywhere (in the bedroom or out to a fancy dinner) during the night!
I didn't think of that kevin, but now that you say it...it would be a heck of a gown! I think you are going to get a fair amount of collectors interested, not only people looking to wear
