Sticking with men’s fashion for another day, I could not possibly resist picking up this vintage pajama top. The pattern and colors are so vivid and interesting to me.
Even though the pants have gone by the wayside some time in the past, wouldn’t it be fun to wear this top with black or red bottoms? For sleeping or lounging at home, I love it.
Some PJ’s have very funny or unusual prints. Take a look at a men’s pair that I posted back in December, I think, with fans on them! Strange for men’s clothing, but lots of fun!
Can’t remember the name on the label of this one(I’m still posting from previous photos of things at home), but it’s something like Maxwell or Marlboro – nothing I’ve ever heard of before.
The construction is classic, 100% cotton, in excellent condition. Because of the above, it’s hard to date them exactly – could go anywhere from 1940’s to (maybe) 1970’s. Who cares? They magically transport me into an old movie starring . . . . . . . . . .

Even if you don’t have a Fifties dress to wear with it, put it under any long dress with a full-enough skirt and it becomes a GOWN. Just perfect to make an entrance at a holiday party. . . .
The full length, high-waist elastic slimming panel and back zipper are all unique. Crinoline netting is sandwiched between two layers of fabric for comfort and a smooth line.
Foundation garments were so important in the past – usually more issues to be considered than even now, like garters and boning. Their design was a real art and a science. There are companies now which make “foundation garments” and hosiery in the old style, if you want them. I ran into one in Australia!
