Made in the USA by Shadowline, this never worn full length black nylon nightgown has a sheer white and black lace empire waist style bodice designed with built-in stretch and spaghetti straps. It is delightful in every way. Please note that this gown was too large for my model. For purposes of these photos I clipped the back straps for a better fit. In the close up photo I show what those non-adjustable straps actually look like in the back.

The tag identifies it as a size Small, however please refer to the exact measurements to determine if this will fit you as sizing has changed over the years.

Bust ~~~ 36 inches without stretching
Length of straps ~~~ 17 inches
Waist ~~~ 44 inches
Hip ~~~ 60 inches
Full length, including the straps ~~~ 55 inches
Hemline width ~~~ 90 inches

This Shadowline black nightgown is full length, with an A-line style skirt and lettuce leaf hemline.

It has an empire style waist, with a low cut stretch lace bodice and narrow non-adjustable straps.

Shadowline made a lovely nylon, with a rich feel in the hand and a more opaque look.

It can be laundered, however with the original paper tag in place I have not done that.

In Mint Pristine Vintage Condition, this gown was only worn briefly for this photo session, so you will be the first person to actually wear and enjoy it.

There are no snags in the nylon or the lace. All the seams are intact and there are no stains, holes, odors or other issues and it comes to you from a pet-free, smoke-free home.

Shadowline was a lingerie company, located in Morganton, North Carolina. It was founded in 1946 by Sherrod Salsbury, Jr. The company had the reputation of producing lingerie of very high quality.

This was an original Salesroom sample, meant to be displayed in a Shadowline showroom. That is where department store and boutique lingerie buyers would come to see what was available to order. The salesroom is where they could buy merchandise in bulk for a future season.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
