Description
A softly glowing vintage Alberta Lingerie nightgown from the 1940s to early 1950s, beautifully bias cut in blush pink rayon with lace-trimmed insets that sculpt and flatters the figure. An elegant glamour piece with a deep V front and back, offering both romance and wearability.
Styled by Alberta Lingerie, this exquisite vintage nightgown dates to the 1940s or very early 1950s, a period celebrated for fluid silhouettes and softly structured femininity. Cut on the bias, the gown drapes gracefully over the body, allowing the rayon fabric to fall with natural movement and elegance.
Rendered in a delicate light pink rayon, the design features a deep V neckline at both the front and back, framed by wide shoulder straps adorned with lace. The empire waist is softly defined, with a gathered bust line accented by lace insets arranged to enhance and emphasize the shape — a hallmark of refined mid-century lingerie design.
The skirt flows freely below, creating a swing silhouette that feels equally glamorous and comfortable. The hemline is finished with a narrow ruffle trimmed in lace, adding a subtle decorative flourish without overwhelming the clean lines of the gown.
Inside, the original Alberta Lingerie label remains intact, a quiet but important mark of quality from a respected mid-century lingerie maker known for elegant construction and flattering cuts.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition with no tears or repairs noted. The gown appears unworn or very lightly worn. There is one faint oxidation spot on the lower front, not quite the size of a penny, subtle and consistent with age. It does not detract from the overall beauty or wearability of the piece.
A truly lovely and increasingly hard-to-find example of mid-century lingerie — perfect for wear, collection, or display, and as enchanting today as it was when first made.
