GORGEOUS TRUE VINTAGE SLEEPWEAR LINGERIE BY ODETTE BARSA

GORGEOUS TRUE VINTAGE SLEEPWEAR LINGERIE BY ODETTE BARSA

I did show this nightgown once before, but since discovered the bed jacket, also by the same maker. You can see that she used some of the same designs on many of her items.

The ribbon trim woven into borders seems to be a trademark feature. The bed jacket was sold at Saks Fifth Avenue, as their label is also inside.

Specialty clothing like this is just another rung up the ladder of luxury in vintage-wear. Although the Odette Barsa company continued to be run by her children until the mid 1980’s, I’m sure that these garments pre-date that time.

Aren’t they lovely . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
