Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 274, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 November 1910 — Bathrobes. [ARTICLE]

Bathrobes.

It is getting cold enough now to think of the new bathrobe that serves many women in place of a kimono in winter. Blanket material is of course a favorite; it is cut perfectly plain, without trimming, and is fastened with a heavy cord and tassel at the waist. Gray, blue and garnet, with white or black, are popular shades. Ripple eiderdown is another staple material, sometimes trimmed with soutache braid or with applique designs in broadcloth. Turkish toweling in extra thicknesses is seen in the brighter colors, and fleece down and flannelette are not unknown. Many of these are faced or piped with bands of satin in contrasting colors which give them a smartness they would otherwise lack.
