A vintage '60s / 70s Miss Elaine black double sheer nylon peignoir and black nightgown.
The lovely peignoir is by Miss Elaine with 2 layers of sheer nylon. The pretty rounded collar and lapels are trimmed with black satin. Double sheer nylon puffy sleeves with 2 more bands of satin trim on the sleeves. Inside ties for a good fit. There are loops at the waist with a black satin tie belt.
There is no manufacturer's tag on the nightgown but it came with the peignoir so they will remain together. The nightgown is slinky smooth nylon with long lace panels on the sides with a lace trimmed hem. The lace is crisp and not limp. There is a bit of elastic under the bust as well as some in the back for a good fit.
There is nothing prettier or more sophisticated than a vintage black peignoir and nightgown for year around glamour.

Care Instructions
We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.
Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.
Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
