Vintage 1940's Royal Purple Quilted Velvet Robe - By Najla of Hollywood, Size S, M

This vintage late 1940s to early 1950s cusp robe by Najla of Hollywood was made from a lush quilted royal purple velvet material. Prim and very demure, this robe was tailored to flatter the figure while offering a sophisticated allure. Darted shoulders and subtly tapered sleeves give the classic silhouette of the era, with tailored stitching to cinch at the waist. Lined in a silky cream colored rayon taffeta which gives a nice contrast. An accompanying sash tie closes this robe at the waist, with a large side pocket that allows for you to hold your trinkets. This gorgeous robe falls to the ankle with a true A line skirt that grows wider toward the hem. A very fun, very beautiful piece.
