Cotton Nightgown, ca. 1897. An expertly made cream cotton nightgown embellished with lace edging and insertion. A wrap-style bodice with a gathered center front with flounce that extends up and into the collar. Long sleeves with a flounced lace cuff. There is a waist seam only in the front, which is gathered with a peach silk ribbon, while the back hangs open. Very good condition. The nightgown has small brown spots on both sleeves and the left side of the skirt and a break in the lace on each of the sleeve hems.
