These 1950s vintage pajamas are adorable, so feminine and girly with lots of wonderful detailing! The top is styled with a front yoke of vertical pintucking spaced by delicate inset lace. Fabric is gathered into the yoke for soft fullness at the bust. A narrow placket of lace edged horizontal pintucking extends beyond the yoke as a counterpoint. The short sleeves are also trimmed with bands of lace and pintucking. There is ruffled lace around the neck and a piece of narrow satin ribbon to tie in a soft bow at the front. The pants have an inset waistband with soft pleating for ease.

CLOSURES: The pajama top closes with six pale yellow pearly plastic buttons into vertical buttonholes down the front, with a small snap at the neck. The pants have a sideseam open placket and fasten with two buttons at the waist.
CONDITION: I have replaced the snap at the neck - there is some dark green discoloration directly under the snap on the left hand side from oxidation of the old brass snap. No other issues noted.
