Dressing gown, entirely hand stitched printed cotton. The print is a naturalistic trellis of white coral branches, each space filled with a small white flower on a dark brown ‘bed’ with radiating tentacles on a light brown ground. The lining is a cheaper fabric, rust, tan and dark brown stripes with vine spacers. The front is waist-less, the back skirt gathered into a waistline beneath a single drawstring casing. Drawstring is faded pink linen tape. Long, full sleeves gathered into cuffs; rows of shirring control fullness at top. Narrow band collar, dropped armscyes. No piping. Small khaki colored china buttons and buttonholes from neck to floor. Approximately 18” self ties attached at side seams. Can be expanded for maternity wear.Collection
