Nightgown

Unknown

ca. 1905 · cotton · Costume Institute

A refined society lady with exquisite taste, this nightgown is an appropriate choice for Mrs. Frederick H. Prince, Jr. The excessive material used for both the length and the skirt's fullness add to its luxuriousness, as does the fine pleating. Also, the abundant use of such high quality lace is a testament to this opulent era.
