Designed by the very same Helen Rose who dressed Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly, these stunning hostess pajamas are a glamorous way to dress comfortably but resist looking frowzy. The elegant crêpe-backed satin, beaded tassels and nude color also make it an appropriate atypical bridal ensemble.
Sleeveless pajama features deep V neck taffeta bodice and deeply pleated wide leg palazzo pants of crêpe-backed silk; center back nylon zipper closure. Bodice lined in acetate; pants unlined. Matching wrap jacket with Eisenhower tucks at back; elbow darts and 3 working looped buttons at each wrist. Beaded/sequined 4” tassels at each tie end; body lined in acetate.
