Blush Edwardian *Larger Size* Padded Canton Silk Embroidered Robe - O/S, 1900s

About the Item

    "Wooly Bully" indeed! Words can hardly describe this incredible piece of mid-century fashion: a robe so unique and cozy you'll want to wear it outside the boudoir, thanks to its outrageous Leonard-inspired jungle print lining.

Called “step-ins”, they made ideal sleepwear and were essential underpinnings for the lean, drop-waisted silhouettes of the 1920s. Especially feminine with its bias flounce legs, this one would make exceptional bridal lingerie...
