Item description:

Two white cotton garments: a chemise and a long-sleeved nightgown, both reminiscent of early 20th-century undergarments or sleepwear. The chemise, with short sleeves, displays delicate floral embroidery across the neckline and subtle lace trim at the collar and sleeve ends, reflecting traditional handwork. The second piece is a long-sleeved nightgown with button closure on the upper back and intricate pintuck and embroidered bands across the chest, as well as ruffled trim at the collar and cuffs. These garments are characteristic of the garments worn in domestic settings in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Their hand-finished details and fabric suggest skilled craftsmanship. Both have been well preserved with clean white fabric and visible period-appropriate construction. Ideal for collectors of historic textiles or costume designers seeking authentic period attire, these pieces highlight a key element of period everyday wear.
