Champagne satin trim frames the neckline beautifully, adding soft contrast to the intricate black lace. A long back zipper provides easy wear while maintaining the gown’s elegant lines.

This piece transitions effortlessly from luxury loungewear to a formal evening gown. Perfect for photo shoots, cruises, holiday events, or glamorous evenings at home.

Care: Dry clean recommended.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The champagne satin underlayer shows a few scattered age‑related marks on the front and back. These are largely concealed beneath the black lace overlay and blend naturally with the champagne tone, making them barely noticeable when worn or viewed in ambient or evening lighting. A professional dry cleaning is recommended prior to wear and may further soften or reduce the remaining marks. These subtle imperfections are typical of mid‑century satin and do not detract from the gown’s dramatic beauty or display quality.

_________________________________________________________________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.
