I picked up this piece a little over a year ago at a local estate sale. It was tossed in a box of vintage costumes. The novelty print caught my eye - College pennants. Cool. When I got it home, I realized that it was a one piece beach pajama - double cool because I love 1930s pajamas. I assumed it was a handmade piece, but then I found the 'Sa Se Maid Brand' label inside the shoulder. Hmmmm. A uniform made like a beach pajama with College names fabric? I wonder what it was used for?
Unfortunately it is only in fair condition. It has some stains and the dark colors have all run in the cotton fabric.
Oh my goodness, this is spectacular!!! What a find!
ReplyDeleteI wonder: was this perhaps a set designed to also be worn as "lounging" pjs (I've seen some brands of beach pjs from the 30s advertised as great for gardening, the in-between hours of the day, beach, or lounging?)
ReplyDeleteIncredible!
ReplyDeleteThis is so completely awesome!! Rah Rah! 30's collegiate stuff is awesome!
ReplyDeleteDitto the Baroness, I think they're lounging pjs, too :)
