a sheer pink 1950s bed jacket in nylon tricot, cut with a cape-like body and wide bell sleeves gathered at a yoke seam. the collar, yoke, cuffs, hem, and a small patch pocket are all edged in ivory lace ruffle, and the jacket closes at the chest with a self-fabric tie. bed jackets like this were a fixture of postwar boudoir wardrobes, meant to be slipped over a nightgown for breakfast in bed or receiving visitors, and nylon tricot made them light, sheer, and easy-care compared to the silk versions of decades before. this one is labeled "tailored by weinberg's," a specialty or department-store line rather than a widely documented designer house.
please note: there's a small faint yellow spot near one cuff, visible in the close-up photos.
