Polka-Dot Nightgown & order Bed Jacket Set

A mid-century yoked winter nightgown and bed jacket set. Made from thick polka-dot cotton with smocked frilled wrists to keep the chill from your arms. Three buttons fasten at the front, up to a frilled collar bound with a red blanket stitch. The armholes and yoke across the chest and back are also finished with order a blanket stitch self-fabric frill. The wide maxi skirt of the nightie falls from the chest to the ankles.

This nightgown comes with a matching red polka-dot yoke bed jacket in red with tiny white polka-dots (inverse of the nightgown itself). It is designed so that when the pieces are worn together the frilled white collar will peek over the red round neckline of the bed jacket and the frilled sleeves of the nightgown peek from the tidy cuffs. The red fabric falls gathered from the yoke to the waist. Edge to edge front with a hook and eye fastening at the neck.

Inside of the nightgown and the bed jacket are beautifully finished and faced with flat felled and french seams, no a raw edge or overlock in sight!
