Wedding nightshirt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cream-colored nightshirt with short sleeves, buttoned up the front with white buttons. The shirt has a small pocket on the right side of the chest. There is lace trim on the front placket, on the cuffs, and around the collar. The shirt is made of a lightweight fabric, possibly cotton or linen, and has a relaxed fit. It appears to be a wedding nightshirt, likely from the early 20th century. The background of the image is a plain beige color.
