The diva who owned these knew what she liked, in two colors. Sold by J.C.Penney’s back in the day; no well-dressed woman would be caught without her high heels.
These are sassy little numbers, aren’t they? Just right for the next cha-cha party. Highball anyone?

You see how classic – this robe is made in the same style as the one I showed a few days ago, with the same, now rare, black satin trim. However, the feel is completely different.
This robe is of Sanforized cotton, in a very traditional medallion print. The fabric is slightly lighter-weight and much more “conservative”.
I suspect that this robe is also from the 1950’s, or the late 1940’s. Menswear has rarely been as lavish as women’s and this one was not a luxury item, but these satin-trimmed robes are special.
Makes me think of a man of distinction; a real big spender . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Just look at the gorgeous trimming details on these luxurious early mid-century items. Such a pleasure to wear! Can’t you imagine relaxing in one of these some time during the holidays? Heaven!
Nothing could be more feminine or comfy than these heavy nylon bed jackets; for just a little extra warmth while reading a book or the paper, or enjoying a leisurely coffee or breakfast in bed.
Whenever I find these, I cannot resist. A lady can never have too many . . .
