Men\'s Purple Robe/Smoking Jacket
Hi folks,
I usually buy sweet, wearable women's vintage from many of your members, but I also have another life as a geeky costumer at SF/Fantasy conventions. I need a robe or jacket for a costume this summer!
For months I have been diligently searching ebay and haven't really come up with anything ideal. I have until August to find this, so I figure I have time to find the right one.
I need a swanky Men's purple robe or smoking jacket. It can be any shade of purple from mauve through lavender to midnight grape, but the main colour needs to be purple.
Silk or Rayon would be best, but I wouldn't turn down a velvet or very light wool. It needs to be worn in Atlanta in August, so nothing really hot.
I'd prefer a shorter length rather than a full length, but either would do. A cheesy tuxedo style jacket might fit the bill if it's in a 'boudoir' sort of fabric like velvet.
It's a costume, so condition can be less than perfect, but it should still present well, be odor-free and be able to take being worn dancing.
It's for me to wear, and being a size 4-6 woman, that means preferably small! My chest is 34-36". So long as it's not huge, I can probably swing it.
My budget is small - definitely under $100 and preferably way less than that
I figure there might be some very small size men's purple smoking jackets out there that you thought no one would ever want. Well, here I am ;)
