I love robes like this so much! The cool, heavy nylon and pretty embroidered ribbon trim is so stylish and luxurious. It just says “quality” all over, and it’s RED!!!!!
It’s an easy zip-up front. Modern ladies of the mid-late 1960’s loved wearing these for leisure and as hostess gowns. A little bit of at-home elegance . . . . . . . . .

This pretty Seventies sweater is made by Banff – a company that has made high-quality knit clothing for women for several decades. Sweaters, suits, jackets, ponchos, etc. I picked this up very recently, mostly on the strength of the brand name (and, it’s awfully cute, too . . . . . .. )
I can never resist (nor do I want to!) beautiful lingerie from the Fifties and Sixties, especially when the brand name is not one I see frequently. This lovely half-slip was made by Dorsay. The nylon has a wonderful feel and quality, and the applique’ embroidery is gorgeous.
Last, but not least, is a 1960’s bed jacket by Shadowline. Their mid-priced lingerie and sleepwear is never over-the-top, but their designs are attractive and I can always count on the quality. Worth it, every time.

Just the other day, I discovered about half a dozen of these beautiful lingerie slips from the 1950’s or late 1940’s. I already had two or three others similar to the one on the left, but it has been several years since I found them. Those like the perfect, classic beauty on the right are a bit more common but still are tricky to find.
Do take a close-up view of the lace and trims on these stunners. They are just so lovely. And, of course, the heavy nylon is wonderful to touch. The longer length of Fifties slips is great for wearing with dresses from that same era but they’re also fabulous worn as nightgowns or slip-dresses.
There’s one of a different type that I’ll show in another post later on, so stay tuned . . . . . . . . . .

Don´t know for sure if this gown is from the Forties or Fifties, but I´ll bet on the early 1950´s. This sweeping, silky style is so gorgeous on! No frills and fussy details, just the most wonderful nylon that feels fabulous.
You might remember the gown I discovered a year or two ago which has a similar treatment of the front straps. I just love this – no hardware or bulky seams. Looks like origami.
Palest pink is always flattering and perfect for lingerie or sleepwear. I´ll enjoy this one so much . . . . . . .
