VINTAGE 1959 VANITY FAIR SPARKLING RHINESTONE ILLUSION NIGHTGOWN IN SEA GODDESS

A breathtaking 1959 Vanity Fair nightgown in shimmering sea‑goddess blue, finished with sparkling rhinestones. The rhinestones catch the light beautifully, adding a soft, glamorous sparkle.

Sheer illusion top with 3/4‑length ruched sleeves, all sprinkled with vintage prong‑set rhinestones scattered randomly across the netting. The color shifts between aqua and sea‑green depending on the lighting — absolutely ethereal.

The bias‑cut grand‑sweep skirt is made of smooth, slinky nylon tricot that drapes beautifully. A deep inverted pleat at the back waist adds fullness and movement. The original tag is printed Made on 3‑9‑59, confirming its exact production date.

Just beautiful and so unique — so glamorous one could almost wear it as an evening gown.

 By: Vanity Fair
Size: Tagged 34 — please use measurements for best fit
Bust: 34–35 (raglan sleeves make exact measurement difficult; allow room for movement)
Sleeves: 22"
Waist: 26–28 stretched slightly (leave room for movement)
Length: 54–55"
Fabric: Smooth, slinky nylon tricot
Care: No tag, but washable (nylon tricot)
Condition: Very good vintage. There is a 1½" faint spot near the hip on one side and a couple of smaller ones in back — they blend beautifully into the color and sheen and are not noticeable when worn, especially in evening lighting. The loop for the back‑neck button needs a couple of stitches on one side. Otherwise clean, strong, and beautifully preserved for a 1959 piece.

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.
