Vtg 60s Evelyn Pearson Hostess Party Gown S M

Description

Simply breathtaking. I am torn about giving this away because I really love it. So someone better snatch this up ASAP!

This circa 1960 - 1970 hostess gown has a soft, long sleeved black bodice that buttons at the wrist and a silky, sweeping, quilted floor length skirt in a chocolate brown and white gingham print. A beautiful, big red sash bow at the waist makes the gown perfection. This would make a perfect holiday party dress. Stand out in the crowd of cliche dresses. In MINT condition.

What is a hostess gown? The hostess gown appeared to be a cross between a robe and an evening dress, which the hostess would wear to serve her guests. It combined both the formality of the evening dress and the relaxed "at home" feel of a robe.
