VINTAGE 1959 VANITY FAIR SPARKLING RHINESTONE ILLUSION NIGHTGOWN IN SEA GODDESS

Vanity Fair was always known for their beautiful nightgowns so when I saw this nightgown, I knew I had to have it.  It is a beautiful color between a green and blue called Sea Goddess.  Made on 3-9-59 on the tag.

Sheer top and 3/4 ruched sleeves with vintage prong-set sparkling rhinestones sprinkled randomly over the sheer netting.  The color is between an aqua and a sea green depending on the lighting.  

Bias cut grand sweep skirt with in a smooth slinky Nylon Tricot fabric.  There is a large pleat in back below the waist which gives the skirt fullness.

Just beautiful and so unique!

By: Vanity Fair
Size: The tag on the nightgown says 34 but go by the measurements for a good fit as it is probably smaller
Bust: 34 - 35 and it has raglan sleeves so it is very hard to measure the bust.  Make sure to leave leave room for movement
Sleeves:  22
Waist: 26 - 28 stretched a bit but leave room for movement
Hips: full
Length: 54 - 55
Fabric: Wonderful slinky and smooth Nylon Tricot
Care: No tag but washable as it is nylon tricot
Condition: Very good - there is a 1-1/2" spot around the hip area on one side as well as a couple smaller ones in back.  They blended in so well that if I had not gone into the bright light, The loop for the button at the back neck needs a couple of stitches to attach to the gown on one side.  I would never would have seen them and neither will any one else especially at night.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
