1930's Handmade Smocked Folk Art Print Housecoat | Vintage

The work that went into constructing 1930’s garments never fails to astonish me.  This is such a wonderful piece, and in superb condition.  Circa 1930's cotton robe/housecoat/dressing gown in a gorgeous folk print cotton textile, collars and contrast blue button front (these look and feel like celluloid buttons).  Lovely deep pockets and hand-smocking detail to the shoulders.  Contrast piping to shoulders and pockets.  Garment still has its original self-tie belt.

Someone put a lot of work into this.

There are vintage housecoats, and then there are vintage housecoats.
