I have always loved this style of nightgown- it's just so darling looking.
Everything from the longer flutter sleeves, also sometimes known as bell sleeves, the gathered bodice and the simple neckline, it just makes me smile.
I found the below photo while editing pictures for a listing and it completely took my breath away.
My goodness, how can a whole year have already passed since this was taken!?!
I knew I wanted to make some for the shop, and here is the final result.
I added some pintucks and lace to the bodice, and left the sleeves plain.
I think it looks so lovely in person.
It looks old fashioned, but in all the good ways
A close-up of the pintucks and lace detail on the bodice- this took several tries on a sample bodice until I got it just the way I wanted it. It's very pretty, and definitely makes the nightgown one of a kind.
The sleeves really do flutter :)
Back closure with a delicate rose button...so pretty!
I'll be adding a few more listings later today or tomorrow- we are off to the beach this morning for a day of sand, sun and fun, and I can't wait!
There will be a listing for the lace on the sleeves instead, and three other floral print options: apricot, mauve, and cornflower blue. Stay tuned! :)
