This vintage 1940s to very early 1950s bed jacket was made from a rich rose pink rayon velvet material with diamond quilted detail. Absolutely darling, with shirred stitching around the collar that smoothes the fabric slightly, closing at the neck with a little bow and two faux pearl buttons. Wide tapered sleeves that fall just past the elbow makes this easy to wear, with a sweet little triangular pocket at the side to add a bit of decor (or to hold itty bitty trinkets). This lovely little robe is fully lined in a powder pink rayon taffeta and falls just a wee bit past the natural waist. Such a doll!
