Beach cover-up

Hi everyone!

I'd like to ask if someone out there could help me out with a gift for a friend?

She's been looking all over for a short terry (or chenille) beach cover-up/robe from the 40's or 50's, preferrably with a hood..well I have looked too and cannot find anything...(wouldn't mind having one myself, I actually bought one on ebay before knowing she wanted it and it got lost in the mail...). If anyone of you know where such a thing could be found, I'd be so very happy! I live in Sweden, so if it could be shipped internationally, that'd be great!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!!!

Best,

I've got patterns on my glamoursurf.com site if you or she can sew. I've also got this on my glamoursavvy site, but nothing with a hood right now.

Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate your help!!! And they were all so nice! I think what she's after is a white or just plain colored one, perhaps a bit earlier than those. But I will take a look at those patterns, I think that might be an easy way to do it.

Thanks!
 
I recently bought a plain one, from the late '40s but it doesn't have a hood. It's lost in my laundry pile....and might take some time to resurface, I'm afraid.
 
That sounds very interesting, CircaVintageClothing! Please let me know if you find it, she'll have more birthdays....!
