The pattern provides multiple options for creating a nightgown with a high-waisted, gathered silhouette.
Pattern Details and Variations The pattern includes four distinct styles, ranging from shorter "babydoll" lengths to full-length gowns:
View A: An ankle-length nightgown featuring a high-line drawstring detail.
View B: A street-length version of the gown.
View C: A street-length version without the high-line drawstring.
View D: A shorter length, often referred to as a "babydoll" style, which may include lace trim and elasticized bloomers.
The design is characterized by a gathered neckline and an optional ribbon drawstring.
This specific envelope is marked as Medium (sizes 14-16), which corresponded to a different measurement standard than modern sizing.

This is the original pattern, not a reproduction and not a pdf.
The pattern pieces are unprinted. They are old-school pattern pieces and need to be traced onto the fabric.
