1930s Burgundy Velvet
Robe
SUMPTUOUS BEAUTY. 1930s
Style. Some people lounge around the house in sweats. And you could
call it a personal crusade, but Im going to put an end to it, one elegant
robe at a time! Throw this beautiful silk (or rayon velvet-Im not positive)
velvet robe on over a bias nightie (or nothing, if you are that kinda
girl!) and enter a world of richness. Because, you see, lavish living
is in the details, not in bank balances. And there are abundant details
in this robe- quilted all over for softness and warmth, the collar is
notched and the sleeves are lightly padded at the cap. There is a patch
pocket on the right hip and the robe has a surplus wrap front. It is
tied with a self fabric belt and is entirely lined with pale blush pink
whisper taffeta. The label states size 12, but it fits a modern 6/8.
But you can move the hook and eye to fit a 10. A larger size could wear
it as a long coat, if they added a frog closure or other closure that
does not require an over lap. It would look great worn this way over
some silk cigarette pants and mules. I could find nothing wrong with
this piece (except it doesnt fit me!). The measurements are: bust-36,
waist-27", hips-36". The largest you could go would be ( in
the same order) 39", 33", 39". The sleeve length is 21",
the length from the back of the collar to the waist is 15 1/2"
and from the waist to the hem is 39".
Price: $95
