Oh, I love these heavy nylon lounging robes from the Sixties! And, what better color? I’m in heaven.
The great things about these, after the fabulous fabric, is the easy zip-front styling and the gorgeous trim they often used. In this case, it’s beautiful embroidered ribbon with gold thread. Nothing says casual at-home elegance any better.
As you can see, these housecoats, when made as well as this one, can last forever and look just as beautiful every year. They’re also multiple-use garments – from covering up after a bath, to lounging at home to entertaining at a casual party.
Very festive – just right for the Holidays. Being an undercover artist requires impeccable timing . . . . . . . . . . . ..

A bit off-season, for sure, but who cares! This pretty frock has many hand-tailored details, though I suspect that it was commercially-made, in Fifties or very early Sixties.
I’m having so much fun! Who can resist a swingy, light-hearted dress like this? Cool and comfortable on the hottest days of summer. Great for leisure or work. There’s nothing like being cool as a cucumber even in the tightest situations . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Love the print on this “new” find! I’ve never seen a vintage one like this before.
It’s a Sixties Mod style by the Puritan company. In a winter-weight synthetic knit, I’ll be able to wear this at least 5 months of the year. I think I’ll add a belt.
This is a plain fun dress and I’ll enjoy selecting shoes and hosiery to go with it!

WHAT CAN I SAY – TRUE GLAMOUR ALWAYS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF . . . . . ..
We’ve done a little film noir leisure dressing for the men, so here are 3 of my very favorite women’s things of the same era. The fabulous ’30’s robe with shoulder pads and tassels, the cute little wartime rayon dressing gown and the glam ’40’s rayon dressing gown. Hollywood movie star all over!
Imagine Veronica Lake or Joan Crawford sweeping into the room. Deanna Durbin would look sweet in that dressing gown.
I like to recline in one of these while sipping a cognac and reviewing the latest assignment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
