It appears to be a full length green velour/velvet robe with gold trim on the shoulders, back, chest, and throughout. The lining is a black fabric. It also has a braided green belt/sash. The label reads Russell and Allen, Old Bond Street, London.Any information that you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lamar Spradley

A handful of volunteers are attempting to catalog and conserve these garments, and the quality of our work will depend largely on what we learn from the Net. As an alumna (VC ’70), I naturally thought of your blog and newsletter first! Thank you.

This will be a part of Vassar’s Sesquicentennial Celebration (150th anniversary), and we will feature clothes that relate to Vassar’s history and to the history of women’s education. We’ll be working on this throughout the spring, so we’ll keep you posted as more details arise. via pages.vassar.edu [...]
