BARD'S TORONTO, 1970s vintage velvet evening hostess gown, dressing gown?

vintage hostess evening dress gown,
BARD'S TORONTO, brown op art velvet hostess gown, dressing gown?
Wrap front, 36 bust

Mystery gown...
This piece is truly amazing.
But, is it a dressing gown? Is it a hostess dress? Or is it an evening gown?
I guess it could really be any of those.
Fabric is a heavy (feels like) cotton velvet in the most incredible big and bold op art print.
From the premier department store, BARD'S TORONTO.
In shades of brown. Think of the colors as all different kinds of coffee; latte, espresso, mild and strong.

So fun and funky.

Fitted bodice with wrap style front for easy sizing.
Only closures are a tie inside to adjust as needed; and one hook at the waist.
Deep red lining.
Long sleeves.
Side seam pockets.
Flared skirt with a pretty silhouette.
Belt loops but no belt.

Excellent condition. One small hole in the lining. Not visible to the outside fabric.

Measures:
Shoulders 15 inches
36 bust - wrap
28 waist - where the hook is now; 38 end to end.
free hips - open front.
Flared cut to hem.
55 long
