Earlier 20c antique to vintage embroidered Chinese silk robe or jacket crepe suit -Fade under collar

-Fade under collar

Bodice and skirt both lined in lilac cotton (loose lined skirt)

Full disclaimer

Waist 28” across front - I think it’s missing a usual half tie belt (which has been removed and side seams restitched by hand) so hangs loosely to rear

possibly one of the most cheerful I’ve seen

Earlier 20c antique to vintage embroidered Chinese silk robe or jacket crepe suit -Fade under collarEarlier 20c Ivory Silk Chinese robe with colourful embroidery, lined in a fine tissue silk. I think these have been made for so long it is hard to date precisely but Im pretty sure this is an older piece. It was sold to me as 1900s but I think it could potentially be a little later, although not post war. I think its most likely a tourist piece. Traditional shape with frog fastening to front, and side slits. Piped edging along centre front and neck
