This robe is covered in beautiful embroidery that is in magnificent shape. However there are numerous pulls, holes, repairs and other irregularities in the fabric. See photos 7, 8 and 9, and the corresponding notes below for details. Please note: The photos show most of flaws close up, but not all. For instance, I show pulled seams at the left sleeve, but the right sleeve seam is also pulled. Similarly, I include a photo of the side seam below the belt loops on the right, but the left side looks much the same. Please let me know if you would like to see additional photos. It is still in beautiful, wearable condition. The original collar piece was damaged, so I had it replaced, and a sash made from the same fabric (harvested from a silk nightgown from the 1940s). The hem is padded with a lightweight spongey feeling material. I once learned what this kind of hem was called, but I am unable to retrieve the name, now that I could use it. MEASUREMENTS Wing Span (sleeve edge to sleeve edge): 50" Sleeve seam to sleeve seam: 25" Sleeve length: 12:5" Bust: up to 50" Waist: up to 50" Hips: up to 50" Sweep: 58" Collar piece (length): 62" Length (shoulder to hem): 53" Sash length: 64"
GENERAL NOTES - Please let me know if you have any questions or require any further information or photos. I am happy to combine shipping for multiple orders. - When I refer to the left or right side of a garment, I mean as if one were looking at it, as opposed to wearing it. (Note that when referring to the back side of the garment, the side as-looking-at-it and the side as-wearing-it are the same). - Measurements are taken with garments lying flat, and doubled where appropriate (e.g. bust, waist, hip, wrist, arm/leg opening, or sweep measurements). Bear in mind that measurements reflect the garment's dimensions, not necessarily the dimensions of the person it should fit. The best guide is to compare the measurements provided with those of a garment of similar construction that fits you. (A suit jacket with a 34” bust is likely to fit a little differently than a silk blouse with the same measurement). - Unless otherwise stated, other items used in photos—such as slips, accessories, boxes or hangers—are for display purposes only and are not included. - Our home is smoke free, but please be advised that we have a dog. |
