It seems that the Australian women really loved these beautiful lingerie items. I’ve found many in North America, but not as often as when I traveled there. These are some of the prettiest ones I’ve seen, of those made after the 1940’s. Nothing can beat the silk ones from before 1950!
Aside from the size differences between our two continents, there are some slight design features that are different, too. The Aussie versions seem to always be of two layers, or lined!
Perhaps this is because they have been imported from England (or the designs have), where cozier items would be more popular due to the dampness there. It’s a bit of a mystery, and part of what makes these investigations so fun and so interesting . . . . .

I love this one that I found by surprise several years ago. Simple classic elegance. It is of fine suede and has a zip-out pile lining! This great feature makes it so versatile for 3 seasons of the year – especially in places that don’t have a really harsh winter.
Lovely vintage features are the covered buttons, piecing on the pockets and cuffs. There are also tabs with buttons at the sides of the waist, which can’t be seen in the photo.
This one is the real deal – a well-made classic, well-worn and well-loved. When you’re spying in the right place, you just never know . . . . .

FLOWER POWER! Staying in the Sixties, I love this style! Half caftan/half gown; it accents the waist but hangs free behind and is almost like a cape or a kimono, with a little Nehru collar. Fun!…

Haven’t found a piece of lounge-wear quite like this in a while, so I’m thrilled. The fabric, the print and the design are so iconic from about 1965 – about 1970. Fondue Party to Patio Party, here I come!
