I couldn't believe it... knowing that I like to use vintage slips as nightgowns, my mom made me the ultimate luxury slip/nightgown from a 1940s pattern! It's silk (but washable 
) and she even made the side opening with a row of small snaps.
The funny thing is, she bought the pattern at the pre-Christmas antiques fair here. I was looking through a box of patterns and actually pointed this out to her, but didn't buy it as it was a little on the large side for me, and I had seen something else that was of more interest to me - a skirt pattern. And while I was occupied with looking through the sellers actual vintage lingerie, my mom bought the pattern
. After all she has my measurements and knew what to do... she's experienced enough, though she admits it's the first time she used an unprinted pattern and took a little time to get used to that.
