A remarkable and rare restored Edwardian nightshirt (c. 1900–1910) in sturdy white cotton, lavishly decorated with intricate crochet lace panels running the full length of the front. The high neck, long sleeves with gathered cuffs, and floor-length cut are all hallmarks of Edwardian nightwear at its finest — a reminder that even garments worn in private were made with extraordinary care and craftsmanship.
The sturdier cotton weave speaks to its practical origins, while the abundance of lace elevates it into something truly special. Lovingly restored with visible mending that honors its long life.
