Vintage 1940s Ladies Dressing Gown Floral Chintz Rayon Robe

This is a wonderful vintage 1940s ladies dressing gown made of rayon faille fabric that is printed with a striking floral print.  The print is in colours of blue, green, pink and yellow against a maroon background.  This 1940s ladies dressing gown has short sleeves with turned cuffs, a wide, high set shawl collar and a four covered button front that closes with snaps. The skirt is gathered in box pleats below the waist so that the skirt has fullness and movement.  There are no pockets and the robe is unlined.
