I may never own a Haute Couture piece from Schiaparelli, but this stunning peignoir set is the next best thing since I'm an avid collector of vintage lingerie!

The softness of the silhouette and florals are counteracted with the hard edge of the added lace ruffles and triangular robe collar.

Cheeky, classy and timeless!
