- c. 1930's/early 1940's White Rayon Satin Nightgown
and Matching Lace Trimmed Robe from Arnold Constable,
New York! Arnold Constable department store
was founded in 1827, and in the later 1800's it was
one of the fine shops on New York's lower Fifth
Avenue's fashionable "Ladies Mile". Finest
quality garment! No question it was a from a wedding
trousseaux, as it looks practically unworn (guess she
only had it on for a few minutes!!!) The nightgown is
simple white rayon satin with gathered bodice (with
just a touch of lace), wide straps, empire waist and
bias cut... oh and look at that low sexy open back!
No WONDER it was only on for a few minutes!! :). The
robe is also a white rayon satin (ever, ever so
slightly difference in color.. less pronounced in
person - and the lace, although it matches in style,
is darker and pinker) I'm sure the two were sold
together! Excellent condition. Measures: 60"
long from shoulder to hem.. otherwise the only
measurement that you will need is 28" underbust
where the robe buttons.
SOLD - but on display in
