A Must For The Boudoir

Sadly, hardly anyone knows what a bed jacket is anymore. Like dressing gowns, they were designed for sitting up and dawdling in bed, but in a fashionable or seductive way. They are short numbers stopping at the waist to keep from being bunched up and easy to put on and take off. A practical and fashionable way to cover up your arms to ward off any chill in the air or for lounging around in on those days you just can't bring yourself to put on real clothes.



Bed jackets are still available these days, yet many are made of yucky fabrics, grumpy fleece or they are just plain tacky Federick's of Hollywood versions. Back in the 30's & 40's they were made of lace, satin, tulle, sheer fabric and/or marabou. One might have ribboned or feathered edges. Some would have jewel encrusted closures. No matter what...they can be glamorous.

Think fabulously sexy Hollywood actresses like Jean Harlow, Rita Hayward, Hedy Lamarr or Veronica Lake lying in satin sheets wearing a gorgeous marabou trimmed satin bed jacket taking vistors only it's you!
