Pale Pink Silk Crêpe-de-Chine Nightgown with Lace

Great Depression · 1930s · British

A pale pink silk crêpe-de-Chine nightgown featuring delicate lace insertions at the bust and shoulder straps. The garment has a high empire waistline with gathered fabric beneath the bust, creating a flowing A-line silhouette that falls to approximately mid-calf length. The bodice is constructed with fine lace panels forming cap sleeves and decorative trim across the chest area. The lightweight crêpe-de-Chine fabric drapes softly, characteristic of 1930s lingerie design that emphasized feminine comfort and luxury despite economic constraints. The construction shows machine-sewn seams with hand-finished lace applications, typical of quality British intimate apparel from this period.
