This was an unusual purchase for me. I have never owned a vintage undergarment, slip, pj's, etc. (now I have two!). This was my first dive into that world of which I know very little about. I knew I wanted a slip (more on that in a future post), but I came across this lounge top and thought, "Yes, I will take that, please." I think it was the peachy color and the silky look. It seemed like a small luxury that I could A. afford and B. get out of sweats for. Ladies back in the day seemed pretty classy even in pj's and I wanted to give that a try.
I purchased this beautiful 1930's pajama top from The Slipperie (there are so many pieces I wanted from that little shop! Especially a few pairs of tap shorts/knickers...someday). It is made from rayon so it is slick and shiny and has square patterned lace around the neck and across the bust. There was some minor foxing (a term I didn't know until recently meaning small rust stains or oxidation), but I didn't mind. It is over 70 years old after all!
I actually might wear this as a top. It is loose and blousey and might work well tucked into high waist pants, jeans, and pencil skirts. A bit daring for the 1930s, but would be rather cute today!
Last Week's Sunday Snag:
Wow the detail on this is absolutely beautiful! I love it!
ReplyDeletethat's a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteI think the great thing about these 30s pieces is they look fabulous worn as outerwear now! I absolutely intend these pieces (well most) to be worn out....maybe not the tap pants....;) thank you for this sweet blog post and let me know if you'd ever like another treat in my little shop.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday. ☺
Wow! Gorgeous. Please wear it as a top; it'd be great that way.
ReplyDeleteLovely, some of these nightware pieces were just too pretty to sleep in:)
ReplyDeleteOh it's so lovely and girly indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty. I think you can definitely wear it as a top or even open as a little jacket.

I have never purchased anything vintage either!! But after this post you have encouraged me to give it a try my friend.
ReplyDeleteOoo how pretty!!! I don't own anything really vintage either! If you wear it as a blouse you'll have to do an outfit post!!

I like the peachy color! It's true, the ladies of bygone eras wore beautiful nightgowns and pajamas to bed. I remember my grandmother having an array of pretty and silky negligees.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the vintage look!
