Lately I have been quit obsessed with nightwear of the by gone eras. I think it might be the fact that I've been home more often I keep on continually getting sick I get rid of one bug and then get the next. But oh well that's what happens when you have a weak immune system. Now back to the topic I enjoy seeing these gowns, bed jackets,and slips I just love the detail they would put into these lovely garments. Now here are some scans I got from a few of the magazines my great aunt gave me.

1934 Lingerie Styles I love the back of that gown!!
What do you think?? Would you wear any?? |
Love these, I am a fan of vintage sleepwear as well and these ads are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you are feeling better soon!
I love them too! Wearing a vintage nightgown right now, actually! :) I really want to make myself a 30's gown in peach satin with lace and what-not. I just bought the vintage teddy pattern from Mrs Depew on etsy and am so excited to make some of those. I think they'd be very comfortable as both sleepwear and underwear, in place of a slip.
ReplyDeleteVintage nightwear is just beautiful! I have always loved these transparent, lacy pieces of clothing! i mean - what girl doesn't wanna look like a goddess in bed?! ;)
ReplyDeletejitterbugdoll- Me too!! and thank you I hope I do to.
ReplyDeleteBrittany- That sounds lovely!! I really like the color scheme they use to use in the nightgowns a peach sounds vary nice.
Miss Meadows- Vary true!!
Yes I do think it would be great to own on of these nightgowns.
ReplyDeleteIn image #2 I do like the blue and pink in the bottom hand corner.
I've actually been pretty obsessed with this subject as well lately. Especially around what would be considered "lounge" wear. We have someone staying with us for the next couple of months and I really want to lounge around (as normal) in the evening in my satin gowns and robes but I wonder if that's inappropriate. They cover me, but are they "too much"?

I LOVE the "dressing gowns" of the '30s and '40s! Also the Asian-inspired pajamas of the...was it late '30s? Anyway, I would love to have a pair of those. Nightgowns of those periods are always so glamorous. What's wrong with being classy when you're sleeping, too? :D
ReplyDeleteI don't remember any member of my family wearing anything but very ordinary cotton nighties! One thing everyone did have was a 'bedjacket' very like this. http://handmadebymother.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-mothers-day.html
ReplyDeleteWhen I was ten, at school in the 1950s we had knitting lessons. Those who were considered good enough could knit something very like this in shape. http://www.besthandknitting.com/vintage-crochet-patterns/women/shrug-/-bolero-/shortie/bed-jacket-bj11/prod_11.html Sadly, I never achieved this pinnacle of knitting success!! They were lovely pink creations, knitted with wonderful thick wooden needles - sigh!
Hehehe my grandma was an ordinary girl to she didn't start wearing anything like that until she married my grandpa =)
