50s Black Illusion Bust Nightgown Eve's Leaves Style$59.00
Gorgeous 1950s nightgown in a slinky silky black nylon with a nude illusion bust. Floral appliques over the chest. This is a gown that I think is drawing inspiration from the Chevette Eve's Leaves style but in a more modest design.
I used to wear this as a party dress at around 41-30-42 and I would say that's nearing the max at the bust. Shown on my mannequin at 38-25-34. Has very light stretch in the fabric due to material but no stretch in seams.
Measurements:
Bust-37 inches with room.
Underbust-32 inches
Hip-47 inches
Length~45 inches to shortest part and 50 inches to longest part.
In very good condition. Has a couple of small holes around the bust and straps (see pictures.) that are on the top layer but not both layers of fabric. Straps have been shortened (second to last picture.) Hem is uneven - I never noticed until after I cleaned and got on my mannequin but the hem has a couple inches difference and it is shortest in the back on the left side. It also has a spot of white on the hem kind of inside of the hem (see last picture.) Looks like it may have had a label at one point.
