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.
