Vintage Sleepwear

[MoxieGrl]

Ditto on the Nick and Nora line! I love their PJs. I got a set of 100% silk pajamas off a clearance rack last year at Target. Love them! The cotton they use it absouletly sumptious too!

I am a satiny fabric addict for sleepwear. I usually order from Victoria's Secret. I usually go for a longer length (which is still above the knee there) chemise or slip in the warmer months like this...

and their signature satin PJ's in the cooler months. It comes in so many colors and each year they change the patterns available.

Their flannel PJ's are comfy too!

I don't really have any vintage sleepwear other than a few long flowy satin or sheer robes I wear over a slip when just watching a movie at night kind of thing. As long as they are pretty and comfortable I am usually happy.

I love wearing babydolls to sleep when it's warm enough...I have the most comfortable one from Old Navy (someone gave me a gift certificate) that is the SOFTEST stretch cotton with little buttons down the bust and white lace trim!

In the winter, I always sacrifice style for comfort (being cold is an affront to my being). I have a pair of cotton Dracula PJ pants from the men's section of Target that I love.

I loooooove the Nick and Nora collections, but I'm only going to pounce when I can snag something off the clearance rack.

Etsy.com ... that was the first time I've seen such an array of vintage-style brassieres. They do look quite different to todays clothes!

That's the one thing I don't have any problems with, i usually sleep in a very short T-shirt, any simple cotton T-shirt will do. If it gets too,too hot in summer i wear a short cotton baby-doll.
Hope you find what you are looking for roselily!

Cambridge/Robe

Does anyone know where I can find a (Non-Terry Cloth) preferrably silk robe?

OR Cambridge PJ's in several colors?

Preferably Dark navy with white trim.

Thanks!

I truly love Silky PJ's.. but I always seem to have the problem that I get static.. and then my hair is crazy in the morning from tossing and turning.. anyone have any solutions for that?

I hate the wicked static too - and the PJ legs that ride up all night. My solution to this has been to ditch PJs altogether.

Yup! Look for rayon or silk ones on the content labels. Synthetics cause the most static.

hehe...was going to say this...its the poly nylon that makes one miss shocky....

 

[LelaViavonie]

Ahh.. will have to invest on some non static PJ's... LOL

I like the flannel ones.. but they make me feel more manly than anything..
I know.. wierd..

Every now and then, i will get a pair of polyester PJs for a gift, so pretty, but can't sleep in them.I always end up tossing and turning and tugging for about half an hour, and then rip them off and end up stumbling around in the dark looking for something cottonlol

I think I saw some stuff like this last time I was in Dillard's.....

and also cause one to become very flammable!

I don't have any vintage pjs but have a cotton and lace below-the-knee slip of my grandmothers that I sleep in

 

[pin_up_pixie]

Where can i find some cute baby doll PJ's? I'm in love with the kind Annette Funicello used to wear. But I'm not having much luck finding them.

Figured you ladies would know best.

 

[princessofcandl]

Whats the ***yist vintage PJs? Cotton sheets and a vintage bedspread. Hehehe... that is my pj of choice.

But if I must.... I get vintage looking slips at the local thrift store. Cute, cheap, and not flannel. I am not a fan of flannel. I use to work at Victoria's Secret (back when there stuff was good). When women would say "its to cold to sleep in that" I would tell them to invest in a good down comforter and wear the teddy. Haaaaa.

I have a very romantic robe. It is floor lenght black velvet with a rose print burnt out. Semi sheer and warm. Go figure. But for the life of me I can't remember where I got it. I've had it forever. I think Dillards. Although I have a fun Nick and Nora sock monkey robe. Me and my crazy sock monkeys.

Pajamas

I am dying for some cute vintage PJs! OK, probably not authentic vintage, but at least a few ideas. I loved the pajamas on the cover of that one recent "vintage" Simplicity pattern, but I really wanted cotton pajamas-- it was talking about silk and other stuff I'm not brave enough to try yet lol . (Has anyone made them? Post a pic, please!) Please share your pictures and ideas... I'd love to see them!

If you want to cheat and not sew.....

The Nick and Nora line at Target always has uber cute funky retro pj's....although they might be moving into the flannel season now, they tend to do cotton ones over the summer. This means you might score a bargain.


Nick and Nora Line at Target


depending on pricing....you can't even get fabric that cute for the price of a set on sale.....

And I got three pairs of satin pj's at Target, for $9 each! Boy style, with piping. I would rather have lady pj's. but they are rare in 30s styles.

The Decades of Style pattern company has a really swell pj pattern too.

 

[VivaciousLady]

Oooh, thanks for the links guys! I just may have to take a peek over at Target

Just found this cute pattern on another page... I love those wide legged pajama pants!
