Earlier 20c antique to vintage embroidered Chinese silk robe or jacket hippy luxe Stands 3" at highestEarlier 20c Ivory Silk Chinese robe with colourful embroidery, lined in a fine tissue silk.

Traditional shape with frog fastening to front, and side slits. Piped edging along centre front and neck
