I thought you meant that house dresses came into existence in the 50s and 60s, so I was just trying to show links to really cute earlier house dresses.

I do sooo especially love the ...oh, just gorgeous. I do sooo especially love the first and last images (that polkadotted hood is just dreamy). One note regarding the idea that dressing gowns evolved into house dresses. Just wanted to point out that the more domestic house dress actually existed before and alongside the more patrician dressing gowns and hostess gowns (example: in the early 1920s and 1930s, middle class women wore and made their own house dresses: <br />http://sensibility.com/resources/vintage-images/1920s-house-dress-pattern/<br /><br />http://www.unsungsewingpatterns.net/2009/03/simplicity-7001-womens-housedress.html, my favourite is the 1930s "Hooverette" http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/2010/08/hooverettes.html<br /><br />I guess housedresses were more associated with the middleclass servantless woman, as opposed to the "My Man Godfrey" type ladies of leisure who fanned about in their boudoirs in dressing gowns and then received guests in their hostess gowns and such?).<br /><br /> Anyway, your dressing gowns are beautiful...you've got an enviable collection...much more elegant than a terry cloth bathrobe on a Saturday afternoon!BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-78319635097758759842011-03-26T03:09:04.138-07:002011-03-26T03:09:04.138-07:00STUNNING!STUNNING!Miss Tallulah Porkchophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251953356838082616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-42203371635335637322011-03-25T17:17:27.492-07:002011-03-25T17:17:27.492-07:00OH MY GOD, give me that hat!!!
