Incredible Vintage Floral Embroidered Pale Blue Grey Robe w Blue & Silver Cording

The Shrimpton Couture Archives

This is a fabulous vintage piece without a label. It is the kind of thing you would only ever find in vintage and is just a unique and special thing.
It is an extremely elaborate robe that was maybe meant as a hostess piece and now would make a phenomenal evening piece or even something to work into a bridal weekend.
The fabric is a pale blue-grey with a muted satin finish and then onto that is a secondary leaf print worked through the fabric. Over the leaf print are embroidered flowers and then the entire thing has been finished with an elaborate design made out of a blue and silver cording.
It has no collar and opens all the way down the front. It comes with matching original wide sash belt that you cinch in the waist with.
It is extremely full and open through the body and very long so should fit any size. It will just be that much more oversized on a smaller frame.
The sleeves are very wide and they have a secondary piece added just pass the elbow that makes them even longer. It is quite incredible. An extension in the same fabric has been added all the way around the hem to let it trail out and behind you as you walk. A puffed braided feeling band details and highlights where those added panels are attached on both the sleeves and the bottom hem.
It is fully lined in a pale blue and it feels like there is very light padding in between the lining and the exterior.
It has no closures and slips on wear and ties with the belt.
There are some minor marks here and there but no major flaws or issues. Some grubbiness near the hem.
