UF64 Silk Edwardian Formal Dressing Gown
c.1890
apx. size 10 to 12
$625
After the Civil War, the passing of Queen Victoria and through and
after WW1, most families were in mourning for a son, brother or husband
who were lost in one of those wars. Many women were dressed in black..day
and night.
Seen here is a formal "Embellished silk Dressing Gown Robe" that would
have been part of a very wealthy woman's wardrobe. A servant would
assist in the preparations for bed. Undressing, dressing, combing of her
hair and whatever assistance the Lady of the House would need. Have you
seen "The Guilded Age" or "Downton Abbey"? This is such a garment that
they would have worn, or others in a similar social position would have
enjoyed. Today this amazing garment could be worn to a formal evening
out and be the hit of the town!..worn at home for entertaining......or
just displayed in one's home...The embellishment on this robe is so
sophisticated...just beautiful!
