Description:
This women's robe, also referred to as a wrapper, is made of wool and features a red, white, orange, and black paisley pattern. It has black quilted cuffs, a black ruffle around the collar, and covered buttons down the center front. It also has a short full train and dropped shoulder seams that were common during the period. This style of robe would have worn in the home around the mid-19th century and was often used for maternity dress when a woman was pregnant. The styling of the garment, printed pattern, and the use of black contrasting fabric was a common design for robes during this period. The garment is in excellent condition for its age.
