Cadolle’s delicate nightgown offers a contemporary variation on the
feminine “baby doll” styles of the 1950s. Herminie Cadolle founded
her namesake lingerie line in 1889, and was known for her early,
innovative brassiere designs. The company remains in the Cadolle
family, and is one of only a few brands that continue to produce
made-to-order lingerie.
