Now we’re talkin’! Setting the mood here for Cupid’s Day. Some are relatively demure, but all are beautiful nylon and silk sleepwear from a time when those things were really special.
Whether a young girl heading off to college, or a young woman on her honeymoon, one (or two) of these would surely be stowed in her luggage.
Madge likes that cute robe with the double button closure at the waist. It would work well over the little short-sleeved gown – perfect for dorm room dreams. As for the silk number in the center, well, it is Valentine’s Day so forget the robe . . . . . . . … . . ..

Another stand-by style in ladies’ hats – the toque has been around for many decades. Black & white is perfect for Spring, but goes really well all year long. Classic, but very early/mid 1960’s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Marlene is mesmerizing in this gorgeous veiled hat. Just covering the eyes, it adds a bit of mystery to a bright and open face. She was so inspired by the Spring hue that she even changed her haircolor . . . . . . . . . . . .
I’ve honestly not seen a veil made this way before and am a bit unclear about how it is supposed to be worn. However, it’s situated in the right direction so maybe this is it. Perhaps it could be worn tipped a little farther back on the head. Many hats from the Forties had parts hanging over the shoulder in kind of a gypsy touch.
Anyway, it’s beautiful and just right for the season. When flowers and grass are coming up, here we go . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
