This particular silk crepe Juban is Tissue silk crepe, is has the loveliest pattern of red wisteria vines and leaves falling from the shoulders and hem. It has a thin cotton collar for protecting the silk from makeup and lotion of the time. Very long sleeves with unfinished hem, meant to be finished to your particular needed length, The sleeves are secure and I would wear as is. No need to hem if you are using for lounging. The other motif seen in this print are fans. Beautifully framing flowers, water and birds. Era 1940s
