Floral Bloom Embroidered Nightdress

Floral cotton nightdress with pink and green embroidery echoing a late nineteenth-century panel of Arts and Crafts stitchwork, and recalling the movement's wider fascination with Persian decoration, an influence keenly felt by designers such as William Morris, who admired the intricate, densely patterned florals of Persian textiles and carpets. This needlework tradition prized close, naturalistic observation of flowers, translated here into a relaxed, sleeveless nightdress with mother-of-pearl button fastening to the chest.
