1950s Rose blue Brocade Hostess Pyjama Set- New!
Measurements
Size: Small
Jacket
This is the current size of the jacket. I was going to have the seamstress take it back to its original size but then thought the new owner may require more specific sizing, so I will have this altered to the buyer's sizing confirmation. Conversely, there is room to let out the pants if desired.

Condition
Excellent.
No notable flaws that I can see, it is in fabulous condition for its age. This looks hardly worn. although there is evidence that the jacket was taken out at some point (SEE ABOVE). A slight crease remains but hardly visible. Pants appear darker in the photographs, but this is because of the shadow falling on them. They are exactly the same hue as the jacket.
Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.
