Mid-Century Sheer Nightgown! This Baby Doll is Smokin’!

This mid-century sheer nightgown is vintage lingerie perfection! It’s like wearing a sexy, frou frou cloud! Plus it comes with a matching robe to provide a little modesty to this otherwise scandalous look!

Knock their socks off with the sweetest little gown and robe set.

If you ask me, you could easily wear this Lanz of Salzburg robe with it for a little extra coverage if the open robe is a little too risqué!

Would best fit a modern US size S. Measurements, taken flat, are:

Nightgown:
B: 15″
W: 21″
H: Open
L: 34″

Robe:
B: 20″
W: Open
L: 35.5″

Now, I don’t know about you, but I adore vintage lingerie, particularly those from the 1950s to 1960s. Lingerie really hit its stride around this era. Before that, undergarments were not intended to be seen. They were, let’s admit it, rather boring.

Don’t get me wrong! There’s nothing wrong with a solid white pair of Granny panties, especially when Auntie Flo is on an extended visit, and the last thing in the world you want is to put on some sexy time clothes.

But the 50s in particular were such an interesting time for fashion. At times very staid and proper. At others very sensual and sexy.

I like the way Blue 17 out of the U.K. breaks down (briefly) the history of lingerie.
