I’m a sucker for vintage bedjackets, peignoirs and dressing gowns – especially that peachy-pink colour they all seem to come in. What ever happened to glamourous bed-wear? Sigh…
Well, maybe you’re lucky enough to have a real glamourpuss to in your life to knit for (and maybe you are the glamourpuss!) and this early thirties bedjacket fits the bill.
This vampy design comes from Woolworths Economy Knits, although I’m not sure how economy ‘Silkenthread’ is. I would think its probably a fingering weight rayon knitted on 3.75mm needles – and don’t forget the 5 yards of raunchy marabou.
