Juel Park Peignoir

[Aquarian Vintage]

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone could give me some input on this gorgeous Juel Park creation?

I want to sell it online in my shop but wanted to make sure I was advertising it correctly as far as the era.

I'm guessing from the 40's, but I don't have a lot of expertise in that decade.

Let me know what you think

Thanks - Jennifer

What is the fabric?

 

[Aquarian Vintage]

100 % silk

I see you sold it as a 1940's set anyway (well done!) so your question is a tad academic now. I'd have dated it a little later on the basis that it has the later label design (their 40s typeface was different and had 'Beverly Hills, Calif' under) as well as some of the finishing features of the nightie. Either way, it is entirely gorgeous and highly sought-after

@NylonNostalgia
Hello and thank you for your input!
I haven't sold it yet so if you could tell me when you think it was made I would greatly appreciate it!

I would date it to the 50s. Maybe later. I don't see the bias cut details of the 40s.
Most of my earlier night gowns had solid straps, not the two thin ones.

 

[Aquarian Vintage]

Thanks! Let me see if I can find more photos of the bias. It kind of fans out with panels.

Does this photo help?

Here is another one I found, just in case it helps with determining the decade

Thank you for further photos. I am still dating it later than the 1940s, that you have it listed as now.
Are there any other labels. What is under the top one?

 

[Aquarian Vintage]

Hi thanks so much for getting back to me. I think you're right, later than the 40s for sure.

Here is a photo from the label inside of the nightgown. The other label was from inside the robe.

The dry clean tag looks newer. This definitely vintage but definitely not 40's.

Dry clean label leads me to believe early 70s at best. There was alot of "70s doing 40s" fashion back then. Looks like they have a facebook page - did you try contacting them through that to see if they have any label archives for their shop?

 

[Vintagiality]

I agree it looks 70s doing 40s

 

[poppysvintageclothing]

Agree 70s doing 40s. Lovely set!

 

[Aquarian Vintage]

I knew I came to the right place! That totally makes sense! Thank you so much for the wise counsel!

 

[anothertimevintageapparel]

Yes, 70s.
The thin double straps were the giveaway for me.
