30s Beach Pyjama Set - Poppy Spray
The House of Foxy£179.00 read reviews
Whether holidaying abroad, lounging at home or out for a sunday picnic, these beach pyjamas somehow manage to bring ultimate glamour to casual dressing in the most fanastic way!
In the late 1920s and into the 1930s, casual wear started to become more acceptable and the beach pyjama or lounge ensemble, as it was sometimes called, started to appear in fashion journals. Many vintage fashion fans will have come accross many photographs from the 1930s featuring an array of splendid examples of this amazing fashion phenomenon.
During the 30s, sailor styles became popular and our design echos this with the drop tie, extra wide leg and colouring. There are nearly 3 metres of fabric in these beach pyjamas! Note also the handy patch pockets on the front for extra detailing.
These are loose fitting with a stretchy waist, the back is an envelope opening - meaning you just step into them. The bodice is intended to blouson over to give a flattering 'nipped in' waist.
We've added a kimono style jacket in line with many original examples we have seen. Its a fabulous lightweight style to keep the sun (or the evening chill) off the arms and upper back.
Our design is simple yet still exudes 1930s details including:-
- nautical sailor style neckline
- gathered waist to give a flexible fit
- envelope back neckline with popper fix
- very wide leg
- made in rayon crepe for proper vintage style drape
- contrast edging on neckline
- kimono jacket with piping around neckline
- inner leg length approx. 31 inches, full leg from waist approx. 41 inches
Fabric: 100% viscose
Care: cool hand wash or dry clean (3% shrinkage may occur) - iron to bring shape back

Amazing! Like Karen, I've bougt many clothes in the poppy print: the Lana and Gracie dresses, shawl and tie neck blouses, and those wonderful pajamas.
This print is really stunning.
The pajamas fit like a glove, I would love to buy them in the nightblossom print as well!
These are fantastic! The beach pajamas are the third thing I’ve bought in the poppy print because it’s just so beautiful. I was worried that something so flowy and blousey would make me look dumpy, but they are unbelievably flattering and slimming. I was torn between getting a small and a medium but I went with the small. I think because of that, the top isn’t quite as blousey as maybe it should be (my long waist doesn’t help that much either) but it still looks amazing. Overall the small still drapes and hangs beautifully. I highly recommend these.
