About Miss Elaine
In 1926, the Sel-Mor garment company changed its named to Miss Elaine. The company remains a family owned and operated company based out of St. Louis, Missouri. Products offered my Miss Elaine go beyond just nightgowns and include:
- Robes
- Pajama sets
- Cover-ups
Most Miss Elaine products are offered in either small, medium or large, but they do have some products offered in 1X and 3X sizes. Nightgowns are one of the company's most popular products.
The Miss Elaine Nightgown
If you take a look at Miss Elaine sleepwear, you will notice that they have a vintage look and feel about them. The nightgowns generally hit around the knee, or longer if you wish, and although some refer to these gowns as lingerie, they are far from some of the overtly sexual items on the market today. You won't find any peek-a-boo nighties or sheer body stockings at Miss Elaine. That is not to say that many of the nightgowns offered aren't sexy…just more demure.
Nightgown Design
Most of the gowns are made of comfortable, easy to care for materials like cotton, nylon and seersucker. The design of the gowns are loose-fitting and free-flowing. Think vintage nightgowns that flutter around a woman's body when she walks. There is a romantic, old school feel about a Miss Elaine nightgown.
The lengths of nightgowns offered by Miss Elaine are generally either short, meaning the gown hits at or below the knee, or long, which is almost floor length. What makes these gowns a favorite are their vintage designs and embellishments.
Miss Elaine nightgowns have great design details that make them simple, yet elegant. Some details include:
- Vintage style buttons – Many gowns have pretty pearlized buttons.
- Vintage style lace – Soft and pretty vintage style lace often adorns the neck and bust area of these nightgowns.
- Darting – Darting around the neckline and bust area is pretty common for Miss Elaine gowns.
- Pretty flutter sleeves – Romantic flutter sleeves make anyone feel pretty.
- Embroidery – Detailed embroidery can be found on the vintage Miss Elaine gowns.

Rediscovering Femininity
Miss Elaine gowns are beautifully and elegantly designed with the purpose to make a woman feel gorgeous and sexy. The vintage style and attention to detail in these gowns are what makes them a favorite among women.
Sure, body stockings, peek-a-boo nightgowns and sheer baby doll lingerie are sexy too, but there is something to be said about the sexiness a woman exudes when dressed in something completely feminine. Miss Elaine gowns are designed with that femininity in mind. One of the best parts about having a Miss Elaine gown is that it isn't a "special occasion" type of lingerie like a sheer body stocking or corset, garter belt and thigh high stockings set. These gowns are something that can be worn every night. What woman doesn't want to feel beautiful and feminine every night of the week?
