From the Loire valley of France: Lovely empire waist sleeveless cotton pique dressing / nightgown.
Wonderful detail in the on chest and bottom of skirt. Medium to heavier weight cotton with soft brushed cotton inside. Very similar to petticoat weight perhaps it was used as a slip?
Fabric is really so pretty! Beautiful piece to be worn, for display, or hate to say it but beautiful fabric for many sewing projects.
Condition: Excellent! Freshly washed and hung to dry.
Approximate measurements lying flat.
Armpit to armpit 19.5"
