G2001.112Description
Entirely hand-stitched dressing gown or robe made from one layer of plain-woven cloth (thin tan silk warp and white cotton weft completely white selvage). Speculated to have been dyed with logwood or the like, however it almost entirely faded away now. It is unlined except for a soft, coarse cotton lining in the back bodice. The sleeves are pieced at the top. It has a shawl collar with bound and piped edges, and long sleeves with modestly large tops. Full skirt is gathered into the back waist but no waist in front. No cuffs. Drawstring in casing in back inside to pull back close to body. No evidence of fasteners.Collection
