Pyjamas were the women’s pants of the early 1930s. Worn only on the most casual of occasions, they are most associated with the beach or with sailing. Today they are more commonly found than you might think, but they are highly prized by vintage wearers and collectors. I have two pairs in my collection, but I’d love to have a matching set like this, with the pants, sun top, and jacket, not to mention the hat and sandals.

Wonderful color blocking! I’m sure the wearer would look like a magnificent butterfly! Thanks for sharing this.

This is glorious especially as it is an illustration which I thought was beginning to have a rejuvenation in marketing, but now not so sure. Wouldn’t this be lush in satin !
