TRUE VINTAGE '60'S / '70'S BABY-DOLL SHORTY NIGHTGOWN FOR HOT SUMMER NIGHTS

Very much of the first micro-mini period in the late ’60’s and early ’70’s, this little nightgown style was very common. Cool and easy for hot weather – and we’re already starting to get some!

Made of substantial vintage nylon, it has no tag. Possibly it was custom-sewn. I find more custom-made lingerie from this time and after than from years before.

Also, the styles get less fussy during this period – excepting for the flower-child fashions with lots of ruffles and lace, it was a sportier time.

So, say an early “hello” to Summer!

FABULOUS 1930’S – 1940’S SILK PAJAMAS AND ASIAN – INSPIRED BED JACKET

FABULOUS 1930'S - 1940'S SILK PAJAMAS AND ASIAN - INSPIRED BED JACKET

Absolutely fabulous – true vintage movie star nightwear. I always LOVE finding things like this. It’s true fantasy apparel.

There is nothing more luscious to wear than high quality silk. These aren’t top-of-the-line, but they’re a cut above what’s around these days.

And, just look at those PJ’s – can’t you just see Lana Turner or Greer Garson in those? And, the Asian – style bed jacket is full of mystery and intrigue . . . . . . . . . . .

LOVELY TRUE VINTAGE NEGLIGEE’ BY ODETTE BARSA

LOVELY TRUE VINTAGE NEGLIGEE' BY ODETTE BARSA

Odette Barsa designed especially beautiful sleepwear for women. The family apparently kept the company on the go into the 1980’s – after the designer’s death.

The thing I’ve noticed most about these gorgeous creations is her use of ribbon, woven into trims. I also have a bed jacket by this company with the same kind of decoration.

What a pleasure it is to look at and wear true vintage lingerie and nightwear. Nothing today can compare to the sumptuous feel of the fabrics, usually heavy silk or nylon, and the exquisite craftsmanship.

At some point I’ll be taking you on a tour of my gowns, robes and other interesting little what-nots from years ago.
