I agree! Amber's collection of beach pjs is impressive! I think the only other person I know who has amassed a major archive of these garments would be my friend Heidi (who, interestingly, recently scored one of Amber's best pairs on ebay). http://citizencouture.com/2010/06/heidi-rosenau/
FINALLY got a chance to wear my early 1930s vest/bolero...
You can't tell in this pic, but Lauren (gal in the middle) is wearing an amazing pair of 30s beach pyjamas she made herself!! Lauren, did you find a full length pic of them? I think Nicole might have taken one :)

I think this may be made of a rayon satin (I have a few 30s-40s dressing gowns and nightgowns....one of them has a "100% rayon" label in it and it has the same satin finish on the outside of the fabric and flat woven underside? Then again, it could be "parachute silk" (nylon), but (correct me...
True, Lady Day...it does seem a bit jarring that the iconography and style of rockabilly rebel hotrodders has been taken up by couturiers. It reflects the point the author of the book "Rebel Sell" was trying to make: "The same basic pattern manifests itself in any number of areas including art...
PS: the term "refined rockabilly" is a friend of mine's. Anyway, check out the video ad for the line!
