Shadowline was a lingerie company located in Morganton North Carolina. It was founded in 1946 by Sherrod Salsbury Jr. The company had the reputation of producing lingerie of very high quality and it made garments for store brands as well as under the Shadowline name.

This was an original Salesroom sample meant to be displayed in a Shadowline showroom. That is where department store and boutique lingerie buyers would come to see what was available to order. The salesroom is where they could buy merchandise in bulk for a future season.

This robe is in Pristine Never Worn Condition worn only briefly for this photo shoot. It was very well made with so many lovely designer details. This is a robe to enjoy wearing for comfort in those warmer weather seasons of the year.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
