Once upon a time, it was possible for at least some people to spend a lot of leisurely time sitting around just looking good. Sitting around in this must have made its owner feel like royalty.

I can't think of the last time I saw such a gloriously lush piece. The fabric is an embossed pink satin that positively glows. It opens up the front with a long metal zipper and ties with an inset sash. The skirt is very full and bias cut--something in which to make an entrance. Size wise, it measures 15" across the shoulders 16" from the back neck to the waist, and 44" from back waist to hem. The waist is about 28." No body does it like this anymore.
