Couldn't load pickup availability
Vintage 1950s hostess dress robe made from an ultra silky hot pink rayon satin that resembles Shantung silk in its texture. This gorgeous robe has a loose shoulder and batwing style sleeve that extends just past the elbow. A high collar with button closure down the bodice, with front zip closure down the center of the skirt for easy wear. A sharply nipped waist and full skirt gives that 'new look' that was popular in the era. A wide tasseled sash tie adds a lovely adornment, while pockets allow for convenience.

A Note on Buying Vintage
A Note on Buying Vintage
This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:
• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina
These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.
Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
