Listing ?s on Kimono Housecoat & Mandarin ???

[themerchantsofvintage]

Just want to double-check before I prepare these listings (going up today with some other lingerie; so kinda like a sneak peeeeeeek).

The quilted Kimono housecoat - I think 60s - agreed?

And the 60s Mandarin collar flower power housecoat - is there a style name for this?

Merci mille fois!

Hi Deborah

The blue kimono robe has an obi belt which you can also wrap and tie with knot in the front.The obi belt is worth noting If this is silk this earlier then 60's.
The mandarin collar has trapunto quilting done in an asian floral motif. This definitely looks 60's to me.

Thanks, Lorinda! - you will make me sound like an expert - "trapunto quilting" I have another pic with the tie loose at the front, perhaps I'll take one more tied at the front.

I don't think the kimono is silk (wish it were!).

By the way, would "trapunto quilted" be a good idea?

Hey Deborah
My thought is the more knowledgable any of us sound the more $$ money we can make! Good luck-Lorinda

Oy! I did not complete my sentence...would "trapunto quilted" be a good idea in the title?

Absolutely! It would catch my eye because 1- you sound like you have something special and 2-If someone doesn't know what trapunto means, their curiousity might lead them into your listing.
