Man's dressing gown of printed cotton. The robe features a broad roll or shawl collar (known prior to 1850 as a shawl collar per the Dictionary of Fashion History), long inset sleeves with narrow cuff band and a wide loose body. This gown is completely composed of a madder printed cottons featuring alternating stripes: the outer face consisting of a wide stripe printed in florals on a brown ground alternating with a narrower stripe of a paisley print on a white ground; the lining featuring alternating stripes of rust/red ground with delicate floral vines alternating with paisley designs on a white ground. The sleeve edges (cuffs) use the lighter ground strip of the outer fabric in a horizontal orientation as a trim. A narrow printed belt (1" wide) is held in place by narrow printed cotton belt loops. Both machine and hand sewing are employed in the construction.
