This vintage 1930s dressing gown robe was made from a lush rose pink silk satin material with a high luster that shimmers beautifully. Bias cut with large ruched sleeves that add a fullness at the shoulder, classic to the era. Gorgeous nude alencon lace inserts adorn the bust with silk covered buttons that close the bodice. Hidden button snap and eye-hook closure at the waist keep the robe from shifting, with an accompanying sash tie to cinch to your liking. A long smooth and sleek skirt falls to the ankle with a slight train at the back for an elegant touch. An unworn beauty with lots of life to live.
