1940s Hand Embroidered Velvet Glamour Robe
Nov 10th, 2020 by Jane Tunnicliffe
This piece was sold on Instagram @butchwaxvintage. Now this, this takes my breath away. One of the most gorgeous 1940s hand embroidered glamour robes I’ve ever laid eyes on… The softest inky black velvet, lined in cream satin. Huge 1940s collar, wide long sleeves, and hip pockets. Ruffled pleated velvet trim around the collar and on the pockets. Pretty much immaculate condition. Fits many sizes due to wrap style. Literally can be worn by a 32 inch up to 48/50 inch bust, 53.5 inches total length. The original belt was missing, so a matching velvet one has been added and matches perfectly. I love the ultra feminine silhouette of this piece, the nipped waist with the full flowing skirt. And of course those amazing hand embroideries.
