Sweet Sleepwear

Okay, confession time. I have always had the weirdest obsession with sleepwear. I like to have a variety of different options for what to sleep in, choices that range from cute to comfy and everything in between. I have a hard time just walking by the pajama section in Target! When I first discovered Etsy and found that it was possible to buy vintage clothing over the internet (Gasp! High school me was so thrilled!), I was so excited that I would finally be able to buy a vintage, peignor set. 

"Peignoir" comes from the French word peigner, which means "to comb the hair", which is the perfect name, in my opinion. When I think of peignoir nightgowns, I picture glamourous women with big hair sitting in front of vanitys, brushing their hair with a silver-handled brush. They are the pinnacle of vintage glamour. I now own a pretty, lemon meringue-colored number from the 60s, but now I'm starting to think that that might not be enough! I don't think I'll be able to stop at just one! Here are some of the other pretty, pastel-colored peignoir sets offered on Etsy.

This mint one is beautiful, and the perfect length.

I am obsessed with pink right now, so I am positively drooling over this one!

Another gorgeous, peachy pink one!

How about a robin's egg blue set? LOVE the lace appliques.

Another pink set! I just can't resist!

The sleeves and lace on this set are absolutely perfect.
