Rendered in a palette of turquoise blue, this original 1940's chenille dressing gown, accented by a decorative lotus and geometric pattern along the hemline, is a wonderful addition to your loungewear collection.
The V shaped neckline is framed by softly turned down notched lapels, which cross over along the décolletage. The simple shoulder line, is set off by slim internal shoulder pads along each shoulder seam, which set off the mid length inset sleeves, edged with turned up cuffs. The fitted bodice, draws in along the waistline, which is fastened internally with cotton ties, and externally with a matching chenille waist belt.
The simple skirt-line, showcases the wonderful drape and iconic style of the era and is finished with a curved pocket along the right hand side of the hipline.

Condition: This dressing gown is in good vintage condition. A small darn along the left hand side yoke. There appears to have once been a button fastening along the neckline, but this has been sewn shut. Very faint discolouration along the shoulder lines and chenille belt, this is minor and only apparent upon closer inspection. Please refer to the photographs as they form part of the condition report.
Fabric: Cotton Chenille
