This Edwardian cotton nightgown boasts a sturdy construction, with minor faults and repairs that do not detract from its overall strength. The cuffs, collar, and buttons feature elegant open work, while the owner's initials HKC are discreetly marked on the inside flap. Extra fabric has been used to reinforce and patch the underarm areas. In certain areas, the cotton weave is noticeably thicker, adding a charming touch to the garment.
The faults and repairs to the piece are as follows:
—There is a small woven repair to the back on the night shirt.
— It also has some small holes (one on the back fabric and a couple in the folds of the hem).
— There is also a small reinforcement repair where the openwork meets the edges of the button panel.
The following flat lay measurements were taken of the nightshirt:
Collar circumference when buttoned: 13 inches
Overall Length: 58 inches
Shoulder to shoulder: 15.5 inches
Underarm: 19 inches
Sleeve Length: 21 inches
Please Note: The collar circumference is much smaller than one might expect from a modern reproduction nightshirt.
