Hi all I have a fair few items that I would love help with I stumbled across an estate sale today that had lovely things , although many not perfect, but super cheap! The first item is this satin dress/gown. It looks better in real life than the photo but there is some fading issues on the back, nevertheless, it was only a few $e so couldn't say no. Could anyone tell me anything about it? My initial thoughts are that it is from either the 30s or 40s? Is it a dress, and if so, when would of it been worn? Or is it more of a house-robe type thing! Thanks
Yes, it looks like a '40s house coat, but a nicer than most one. I'd have trouble leaving it behind too, if it was inexpensive.
I agree with Nicole. It does have some colour fade but on these purple/navy items the pink works rather well with it! (I've even seen buyers asking for fade in this colour way) sometimes they are tagged Ombre. It was for inside wear originally but they work well as evening dresses today.
Thanks all I thought it looked like a house coat but thought it looked a bit formal to be one! It's lovely what people wore then, even just hanging around in their houses!
