Dinner pyjamas are worn by the stars for formal occasions. They're comfortable, smart, and very individual. In pyjamas it is possible to express your own taste more freely than in gowns, as advocated by the stars above — Jean Arthur and Joan Perry—two charming Columbia players.
Firstly, Jean 'Arthur features the sophisticate’s pyjamas in heavy crepon. The colour is honey gold and the only trimming is two antique buttons on the bodice. The waistline has interesting treatment and is widened considerably centre front. The trousers are draped, as also are the sleeves of the ensemble.
Now Joan Perry appears in slacks of the western type - slim and tailored in heavy satin backed crepe de chine in colour tonings of apple green and jade. Her evening sandals are also very interesting and highly comfortable. This ensemble has a hood of jade attached to the bodice, which, when not in use , falls gracefully to centre back.
