1920s peach satin and gray velvet lace robe

coming soon to the shop
the sleeves have long flounces of ecru colored lace, trimmed with a band of gray velvet ribbon
the hem has a double layer of the same ecru lace
the robe, from the satin to the lace to the ribbon, is intact and strong, though it has some small holes, especially along the left shoulder (see below)

it ties at the dropped waist with inside satin ties

silky, sleek, flapper style

a look at the back, where you can see the flaws on the left shoulder

inside is a handwritten tag that seems to say "Moxie."

rebe loved it.
