This part of the loungewear series centers 
mostly around robes and fancier boudoir wear.
Le sigh... I want all of these pretties! As impractical as the fluffier and feather-y-er ones are, they just look like so much fun to wear!

| Ann Sheridan in a silky boudoir robe. | 
|  | 
| Claudette Colbert in a lovely patterned silky robe, with an interesting corset-y bodice method for tying it up. | 
|  | 
| A pretty dressing gown/robe on Amy Adams in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day! A wonderful movie with some great costuming. | 
|  | 
| Jean Harlow in a glamorous boudoir set (looks like a slip beneath the robe) with some seriously feather-y goodness going on around those sleeves. | 
|  | 
| Joan Crawford in a silk set. | 
|  | 
| Carole Landis preening in style. | 
|  | 
| Miss Crawford, again, this time in the 1940s in a floaty robe set. | 
|  | 
| Screenshot I took from Moon Over Miami of Carole Landis relaxing in a gorgeous blue silk and cream lace boudoir robe. | 
|  | 
| From another Betty Grable movie - Betty and June Haver in The Dolly Sisters in matching boudoir gowns. | 
|  | 
| Jean Harlow again with more fluffy sleeves. | 
|  | 
| Another image of Jean Harlow in the same robe as the first picture of her. | 
|  | 
| Jean, yet again, in a less elaborate but still lovely robe. | 
|  | 
| Greta Garbo in what looks like some men's inspired pajamas and a robe. | 
|  | 
| Rita Hayworth in a comfy looking dressing gown. | 
|  | 
| Alexis Smith in a very pretty gown. And those slippers (on the ground by the couch)! | 
|  | 
| Judy Garland, in a robe with some frilly cuffed sleeves. | 
|  | 
| Margaret O'Sullivan in a simple robe. | 
|  | 
| The wonderful Judy Garland again, in a sheer robe/gown. | 
|  | 
| Audrey Hepburn in a sheer robe that is too frilly/lacey/choking for my taste, but I had to include her. | 
|  | 
| An absolutely gorgeous robe on an unknown model. | 
|  | 
| A simple yet glamorous robe on on a lady whose name I am totally blanking on! Somebody help me out, it's driving me mad because she is so familiar..! |

After having been ill for a week I REALLy appreciate the need for some prety loungewear!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I hope you feel better soon... pretty loungewear would surely speed up the process, I think. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely images! I'm working on sewing myself some new loungewear (a 1930's dress and jacket made in a flannel). Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Do share the results when you've finished, I can't wait to see!
