VINTAGE SIZE LARGE VICTORIAN LOOK KOMAR BLACK VELOUR DRESSING GOWN ROBE WITH RED PLAID TAFFETA TRIM HUGE BOW USA - CHRISTMAS MORNING ROBE OR HOSTESS GOWN FOR DINNER

A breathtaking vintage Komar velour robe with a dramatic Victorian‑inspired silhouette, trimmed in rich red plaid taffeta that instantly commands attention. Komar was renowned for creating some of the most exquisite robes and dressing gowns of the 20th century, and this rare design is one of their most striking creations.

The robe is crafted from a soft, lightweight black velour — velvety to the touch without the weight of traditional winter robes. The true focal point is the gathered red plaid taffeta, woven with a subtle gold metallic thread that catches the light beautifully. This luxurious taffeta trims the sweeping ruffled collar, the sleeve ends, and the wide sash belt that ties into a dramatic, oversized bow at the waist.

Every detail reflects Komar’s signature craftsmanship:

• Black velour body — soft, elegant, and lightweight
• Gathered red plaid taffeta collar with gold metallic thread
• Matching plaid taffeta sleeve ruffles
• Wide plaid sash belt for a dramatic bow
• Inside ties for a secure wrap
• Two hidden side‑seam pockets
• Victorian‑inspired silhouette with a festive, holiday feel
• Made in the U.S.A. — beautifully constructed and rare

A charming surprise: tucked inside one pocket was the original sales slip dated December 24, 1987 — confirming this robe was purchased as a Christmas gift. It’s easy to imagine the excitement of receiving such a glamorous piece.

Perfect for holiday entertaining, fireside evenings, or anytime you want to feel elegant, dramatic, and beautifully put‑together.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements. We hope you enjoy what you purchased but we know sometimes things do not fit quite as you would like or the color is wrong.  In that case, we do allow one exchange or a store credit on any item that you want. There are about 2,000 items in the store and more are being added all the time so you have a large selection to choose from.
