The 1953 fancy pants outfits for long-legged ladies who like to lounge

 

Ruffled shirt of Irish linen and lace ($70) and a pair of ankle-length pants in a pale velveteen  ($30, both by Jane Derby Boutique) are worn woth flat gold-thonged sandals.


The "pajamas" being worn in these pictures, which look like as if they belonged in the new wide-screen movies, are strictly for long-legged ladies, particularly those who like to adopt sirenish attitudes around the house and wear pajamas in semipublic or small parties. The outfits all have sleek and stylish pants, but the tops may be as enveloping as the ruffle-laden shirt or daringly cut to bare an expanse of the wearer's skin. A popular-priced gilded cotton is being made in the U.S. while made-to-order styles, which cost as much as ball gowns, come from French and Italian designers. With them goes an asortment of footgear, from spindly heeled sandals to booties done in an adult version of children's sleepers.

Baggy pants from East Indies are copied in one-piece "pajamas" made of Chinese cotton brocade ($30, John Norman) worn with smooth cuff bracelets (Napier, $7.50 each).

Bare feet are mandatory with this bulky jacket and low-cut pajamas according to Italy's Giovanelli-Sciarra. Jewelry is by Luciana. Bendel imports outfit.
