Light, airy, and ethereal, this vintage 1940s Lady Duff nylon chiffon bed jacket displays an angelic alice blue shade that is absolutely enchanting!

Making a thoughtful bachelorette gift for a nostalgically sentimental bride-to-be, this heavenly luscious silken peignoir bed jacket would make a darling "something blue" good fortune wedding gift to wear over the honeymoon!

In excellent vintage condition for its old age, this 1940s war era pale alice blue Lady Duff bed jacket is practically pristine...making it a marvelous gift! There are no natural patina stains, holes, tears or snags in this 100% nylon bed jacket, there are only three tiny indentation pinpoint size marks on the flat sheer chiffon fabric covering the woman's upper decolletage, which can possibly be pressed or steamed out and are hardly noticeable unless closely examined in bright lighting as they are so very faint and small. In the center of the satin leaf lace applique design bordering the flat sheer and ribbed nylon there is a tiny metal clasp which can be hooked onto a white threaded loop on the opposite side to secure the nightie blouse from opening. Likewise, there are metal snap buttons under the satin edged arm sleeves which are only visible between the fabric. The satin leaf applique collar has a satin ribbon at the front for tying in a bow and at the back the collar elegantly comes together in a double petal like fashion resembling a scalloped edge. The seam at the back where the sheer chiffon meets the ribbed nylon has a beautifully bowing boat collar style. The "Lady Duff All Nylon Fabric" tag and size tag are both present but slightly frayed on the edges.
