An essential garment for the boudoir
This is a most gorgeous jacket, originally made as a bed or Boudoir jacket or robe, they have been adapted to be used as evening wear, and perfect to team with a pencil skirt or pedal pushers, elegant with silk palazzo pants, or something to place around the shoulders when the nights are a little cool, when a coat will not do.
The fabric is 100% silk originating from China the lining is a fine linen and in a shade of pink which is called tea rose. Both fabrics must have cost an absolute fortune in the early 1940s, when the jacket was originally made

I have taken the measurements when the garment was laid flat, please compare against a similar garment for the correct fit
