Bonjour welcome to Les Toiles Blanches stock!

here is a gorgeous antique nightshirt that dates beginning of the 19th century.

The fabric is a beautiful linen of heavy weight, a gorgeous homespun textured fabric with some nice irregularities in the tone and in the weave.The linen fabric will h-get more and more floppy after some washes, the garment being unused.

The colour is a nice pale oatmeal color.

The primitive cloth is simple but beautifully hand sewn with a v shape decolleté that closes with ties and a fine cross stitch MD monogram hand embroidered on the chest.

The nightgown sleeves have been cut off, but I like the look it gives to this nice antique nightshirt!
This fine antique nightgown should make the most comfy summer dress ever!

This nightshirt is a large size.

I have freshly laundered and pressed this nightshirt, it is ready to wear!
A perfect find for any collection in a fine wearable condition!


Those roomy pure linen nightshirts make beautiful dresses to wear summer and winter…

Textile Care

Antique linen is a living material, if you treasure it, it will reward you a hundred times. A lot of antique textiles are so robust and wonderfully easy to wash and maintain. The fibres of these exceptional fabrics were grown without any use of chemical, these textiles are organic. No need to use chemicals to wash antique textiles, a good simple natural soap such as the savon de Marseille is fine for every kind of linen. The textiles can be machine washed on warm. The warmer ithey will be washed, the softer and floppier they will turn. Again, no need to use a softener, a dash of white vinegar or a spoon of baking soda are perfect to maintain these wonderful textiles. Dry them on the line if possible, expose them under sun light to brighten the natural white.



information

The textiles I propose show signs of times, marks that are a moving, precious treasure which attests a bygone era. I will always try to describe them as accuratly as possible, giving many details, measurements and pictures to show the reality of the linen. Estimating the age of a fabric is not scientific but rather archeologic, many signs are useful, such as the stitches, the embroideries, the sewing, the colour, the texture, even the smell of the fabrics can help. Sometimes, the auctionneers or the owners give me precious information about the origin of the trousseau, monograms, name of the ancestors. Experience is also crucial to feel and judge the fiber content, the age, the origin or the use of the textile. I will strive to describe the textiles in the most complete way, using my honest judgement, having spent many years manipulating them.

Please note my textiles come from a smoke free house. When they are freshly laundered, the textiles have been washed with natural organic soap and sun dried on line . I recently started selling my treasures, new items will be on sale very often, so please keep your eyes peeled!
