Lounging Pyjamas with Wide Legs, Denise Vandervelde-Borgeaud, c. 1930 - c. 1935

muslin, l c.110cm × w c.66cm More details

Mrs Brusse wore these pyjamas as an outfit to receive guests. The wide legs create the illusion of being a skirt. As a result, the ensemble exudes the aura of an evening gown. It was made in Brussels after a design by the French couturière Madeleine Vionnet, who was famous for her ingenious patterns.
