Sublime late 1930s or 1940s silk crepe and satin quilted bed jacket. The original version of loungewear but this is far too pretty to wear in bed! The jacket is a lovely peachy pink with very full voluminous long chiffon sleeves. The cuffs are satin quilted & hand finished with two matching covered buttons. A wider chiffon ruffle adorns the collar and follows down each of the side edges to gently form the bottom hem. The bed jacket is also lined in the same fabric. Caroline Partridge is hand-sewn into the chiffon lining however this was almost certainly a laundry label. We wonder who she was?!

The jacket fastens with 2 double ribbons either side that can be tied into bows. We have often styled these 30s and 40s lingerie pieces over a simple white t-shirt and designer jeans. Or they look fabulous as evening jackets. In incredible vintage condition; it looks as good as the day it was made. There are no marks or holes in the chiffon, no fading or wear - absolutely extraordinary given its age. Due to the style of the closing mechanism this will fit a variety of sizes up to including UK size 10, US 6.
