This is a 1930s vintage lounging robe - cute and comfortable, a perfect antidote to clingy lacy frilly negligees. It is princess seamed, with puff shoulders that are open on the bottom of the sleeve, I love the oversize pointed collar and the two tiny bound pockets on the upper chest.

SIZE: No size label  

FABRIC/COLORS: Tomato red faille, medium weight and a little crisp to touch. There are no open seams to get a snip of fabric for a fiber burn test - I would guess a rayon/acetate blend.

CLOSURES: The robe opens completely down the front - eight big self-fabric buttons with dimples centers, vertical buttonholes.

CONDITION: Very wearable with a few small flaws. There are a few scattered small stains - mostly on the lower back skirt - see closeup. I found an area of minor seam stress at the mid/upper back on the wearer's right- see closeup. Two of the buttons hae small areas of fray at the margins - see closeup of most significant, one button is a bit faded compared to the others.
