This garment began with a 1980s victorian style nightshirt in serious disrepair. The lace trim, sleeves and base have been replaced with various second hand materials and trims. It features a small netted lace detail on chest with white embroidery, lace trim, a pleated bust, cotton gauze ruffles and a high low hem at the sleeves and base.

This has been spot treated for stains but some light markings remain. There is also a patch and darning repair work done to the shoulder. All notable flaws are shown in photo details.
