Inspired by the whitework trousseau nightgowns of the late 1800s, the Lizzie Nightdress brings that quiet, romantic detail into something you can actually sleep in tonight. Victorian women layered fine cotton lawn and cambric nightgowns with pintucked bodices and hand-worked florals — practical, breathable pieces meant for warm nights before electric fans and air conditioning. This design takes that same spirit: a soft, sleeveless cotton nightdress with a pintucked bodice and delicate white daisy embroidery, made for comfort on hot nights and for anyone drawn to an antique, heirloom look.
The details:
Full length, with a round neck and generously cut armholes for ease of movement in bed
Sleeveless — cool and breathable, ideal for warm weather and summer nights
Delicately embroidered white daisies across a pintucked bodice, with soft gathers below
Also available with pink embroidered flowers, and in a long-sleeve version
A little history:
Nightdresses like this one draw on a long tradition of whitework — the fine, all-white embroidery found on Victorian and Edwardian trousseau linens, examples of which are held in museum textile collections such as the V&A. The pintucks and florals were never just decorative: they were a mark of careful needlework, passed down as part of a bride’s linen chest. We’ve kept that same gentle, feminine detail while making it easy-care and wearable every day.
This beautiful 100% cotton nightdress is lovely and feminine.
It is full length, avaiable in sleeveless and long sleeve with a round neckline.
On the front is pintucks with embroidered flowers sewn on top.
Also available with pink embroidery.
