Antique French Cotton Nightgown Circa 1900s

This beautiful cotton French nightgown would be a wonderful addition to anyone's wardrobe.
The gown measures 18" from shoulder to hem line in front and 19" from shoulder to hem line in back. From under arm to under arm is 9". The sleeve length is 6" including lace trim. The gown closes in back with three tiny buttons.
The bodice of the gown is all pin tucks and feather stitching as well as drawn work lace. The bottom of the gown has two larger pin tucks as well as the usual large hem. What I love about this gown is the three pin tucks on the upper sleeve. I have sold several of these gowns over the years and this is the first time I've seen pin tucks on the upper sleeve.

Condition: Gently used. The gown has been repaired a very long time ago. Please see picture. I love how they would fix a hole. It almost looks as if it was an art. The spot to the left of the fixed area is two small holes. There are four fixed areas (that I found) on this gown. Two on the sleeve and two in the back. One area on the sleeve is not fixed. Please see picture.

I have mentioned all the flaws I have found. The gown does not have any stains. The repairs that were made do not take away from the beauty of the gown. To have this for your French Fashion to wear would be great. Can't you see her in her new cotton gown standing next to a dresser?
As with all of my items this comes from a smoke free home.
