Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare?

When I got married I got a lovely vintage slip/nightie from one of my best friends. It was accompanied by a sweet note. I have always cherished this "gown" but it has been hanging hidden away in my wardrobe. I just thought it was too beautiful to wear to bed or being hidden under another dress but I never figured out a good way to show it off. So what do you think about this? Could it pass for a dress or do I look like I just forgot to dress?


I tried wearing it over a slip that belongs to a dress I have and dress it up a bit with a necklace and some heels. The cardigan keeps it from looking too bare and "lingerie" like.


Vintage slip/nightie, slip belonging to an old dress I have, cardigan United Colors of Benetton, shoes Donna Girl and necklace some silver charms and a chain from my childhood.

  1. I think it can pass as a dress, I am not quite sure because I can't figure out what fabric it is. As long as you are comfortable wearing it should be a great outfit.
    I hope your weekend is lovely too.

  2. I think it is very pretty as a dress! I'm not sure about the lace detailing on the bra part, though... but I think if you cover up with the cardigan it would work.
