EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite embroidered nightgown, created by American artist Evelyn Bailey between 1935 and 1942, is a stunning example of the intricate needlework and artistic talent of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The nightgown, which features a high collar and long sleeves, is adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, meticulously stitched in various colors and thread weights. The design is rendered in pen and ink on paper, providing a detailed roadmap for the embroidery process. Evelyn Bailey's nightgown is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American art and fashion during this period. The 1930s and 1940s were marked by a renewed interest in traditional crafts and domestic arts, including embroidery, as a means of expressing individual creativity and identity. Bailey's nightgown reflects this trend, showcasing her exceptional skill and dedication to her craft. The nightgown is currently housed in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design. This important archive documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the 1940s, and is a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and enthusiasts of American art and culture. The nightgown's inclusion in the collection underscores its significance as an important artifact of American history and a beautiful work of art in its own right.
