ANTIQUE VICTORIAN EDWARDIAN NIGHTGOWN SET - SMOCKING, EMBROIDERY & CUT WORK
Item History & Price
Absolutely gorgeous museum quality antique sleepwear three-piece set. The set has smocking, embroidery and cut work - it is stunning... The long gown measures 18" seam to seam under the arms. It is 60" long in front and 54 1/2" in back. The only reason for the front being longer than the back that I could come up is perhaps the gown was meant to be worn while the owner was pregnant? Any other theories would be welcome. The long gown has 18 white MOP buttons in the back. The short gown ...measures 20" from seam to seam under the arms and its length is 33". The drawers have a 26" waist, the inside leg is 18" and from the top of the waistband to the crotch is 15 3/8". The drawers have one white glass button. Please see above for condition notes.
Our home is smoke-free, but not cat-free. However, I maintain my inventory in a cat-free area. The last photo is my photographer's assistant and occasional model, Honey.
The starting bids on my items do not reflect their actual value. I only buy items when I can get really good deals and I pass my good deals on to my customers. I set my minimum bids based on what I paid for the item. Most of my items are antique or vintage and will show appropriate wear. If there is other than appropriate wear, it will be noted. I am happy to combine items for actual shipping charges.
Payment is expected within twenty-four hours. If you need more time to pay please contact me prior to bidding. If I have not received payment within 48 hours I will initiate a non-paying bidder case. Due to the inordinate number of non-paying bidders recently if I am forced to file a non-paying bidder case the buyer will be added to my blocked bidders list and will not be able to bid on any of my future items.
Packages go out the Tuesday or Wednesday after I have received payment if I have received payment by Monday am. I always use delivery confirmation.
Please contact me through eBay's ask a question feature with any questions and I will do my best to answer them.
