Lovers of nylon nightgowns were very disappointed when this shinny fabric started being replaced in the 1960s. Nylon was one of the first man maid fibres to be mass produced and was used in huge quantities in the clothing industry. Some truly miss those nylon nightgowns as an iconic fashion statement. It was often the only garment that adorned the early glamour girls and pin up models of the fifties. There was something quite romantic about those short semi see through pieces of nothingness. Trimmed with satin ribbons and bows they made the male heart beat just that little bit quicker.
Then of course there were those nylon nightgowns styled in yards of gossamer thin material. They flowed from the waist cascading to the floor in waves of billowing silky nothingness. These were the elegant styles for the more discerning ladies of the day. A cross between those flimsy nightie and the film movie starlet styles of nylon nightgowns. Still trimmed with lots of ribbons and lace but a little more elegant.The best styles have to be those lavish designs reserved for the wedding night. These fantastic creations are now collectors items that change hands for huge amounts of money.
Every blushing bride of the day would have longed for one of these creations. Often pure white, flowing and almost see through they would come with a matching negligee trimmed with pretty satin bows and delicate feminine lace.If you still love those gorgeous retro styles you don't have to break the bank to own them. There are some excellent specialist online stores that can supply made to measure nightwear and lingerie in whatever fabrics your heart desires. So now you really can own nylon nightgowns of your own.
