The loosely-fitted lounging pajamas of the 1920s had evolved into more smartly tailored styles by the end of the late 1930s. This set was part of a trousseau, and the robe features the bride’s new initials—DGZ—embroidered on the right pocket. It was custommade by Regine Brenner, who ran a boutique on New York’s Upper West Side.
