This is a wonderful vintage dressing gown or lounging robe made in Italy under the Florida Confezioni label. This dressing gown has a wide rounded quilted collar with a V shaped neckline. It closes with two covered buttons at the neckline and has 3/4 length sleeves. The velvet features a rich deep red colour almost burgundy. There is a quilted patch pocket built at either side and the gown is fully lined in a shiny taffeta.
Age: although difficult to date precisely, most likely 1950s given the style and label
