Amazing Original 1940s Vintage Pink Print Beach Pyjama Pajama Pant Set

This fabulous set was made from pale pink fine cotton with an ellipse print in the early 1940s. It consists of wonderful loose fitting wide leg trousers and a top that slips on over the head. The top was cut with a flattering boat neckline and a decorative flounce below the neckline at both the front and back. It is loose fitting at the waist and could be tucked into the trousers if desired. The pants have a stunning wide leg cut and high waisted fit. Clever dart work creates a fitted waist from which the legs fall loosely with fantastic volume. The trousers fasten with four buttons on each side. Both pieces are unlined and perfectly lightweight for summer. This would have originally been a lounging pyjama set but we feel this would look stunning worn out as beach pyjamas or as separates.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in two different options:

1. Pure cream cotton for your heavier weight dresses, blazers and suits

or

2. White cotton muslin for lightweight summer dresses (so they don’t show through the fabric)

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
