Condition: Very good vintage condition with the exception of a couple of imperfections: the hem is out in the nightgown but the dry cleaner can hem it for you very quickly. There are some spots (largest is 5/8") on the lower back left side of the peignoir about 7" up from the bottom. I nearly missed seeing them as they blend in well and unless one is examining the peignoir, they would not be noticed especially at night. (Photo) The spandex maintains its stretch and the vibrant geranium color remains rich and beautiful.

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.

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.
