You will be the first to enjoy wearing this sunlight yellow nightgown. Made by Shadowline for sale at Sears, the original paper hang tag shows it is "Sears Perma-Prest Pima Charm Lingerie". A scoop neckline is trimmed with sheer yellow lace. There are two panels of that lace down the entire front, along a center strip of yellow satin ribbon, topped by a yellow satin flat bow. Yellow lace trims the entire hemline. A mix of 65% Dacron Polyester and 35% Pima Cotton fabric guarantees you this will be an easy-care garment.

The tag identifies this as a Size Small, meant to comfortably fit a 32 - 34 size bust. However please refer to these exact measurements to determine your best fit as sizing has changed over the years.

Bust ~~~ 38 inches
Arm hole opening ~~~ 20 inches
Waist ~~~ 44 inches
Full length ~~~ 34 inches
Hemline width ~~~ 58 inches

It is in Pristine Mint Vintage Condition, with no issues to report. All seams are intact, there are no stains, snags or odors.

On the reverse side of the paper tag it reads "Sears Pima Charm Lingerie...so easy to care for because it's PERMA PREST for wrinkle resistance day after day! Use mild soap or detergent...rinse well. Hang to dry dry quickly or tumble lightly in dryer. Requires no ironing. Do not bleach! Sold by Sears, Roebuck and Co., Made in USA."

Because the original paper tag is still attached, I have not done laundered this nightgown.

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. As you can see, they also manufactured exclusive garments for department stores, such as Sears.

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.
