1930s 'Bessie' Wrap Beach Pyjama - Eden
Our beloved blue dream returns! Bessie is brought to life in our ethereal 'Eden' print... A true staple from spring through to autumn, for the vintage or modern gal. This beautifully lightweight wrap design is effortless to wear, with the ease of a one-piece and all the romance of 1930s seaside style.
This ensemble is inspired by sketches and images from the late 1920s and early 1930s, now available in our 'Eden' print, drawn from an original 1930s design. Elevate your Spring/Summer wardrobe with this beautiful and dreamy look.
In the late 1920s and into the 1930s, the beach pyjama or 'lounge ensemble' became something of a phenomenon. Although considered risque by some, the rise in leisure time and encouragement in healthy outdoor activities during the 20s and 30s created a demand for more casual and comfortable clothing. Combine this with what many consider to be the best clothing design era thus far, marked the creation of some of the most stylish pieces we are thrilled to re-create.
We've taken style lines from the earlier period of late 20s/early 30s for this particular design. Super wide leg of course, a flattering cape-let which creates faux sleeves and contrast sash to tie the wrap style.
This style is so comfy, you may never want to take them off!
Similar to many vintage all in ones and modern jump suits, this is a wrap style that you climb into. Bib front opening creates a flattering V neckline and ties with contrast sash at the side or cinch in further by wrapping the sash around the waist. The caplet is soft and full - extends around the back.
Our design is simple yet still exudes 1930s details including:-
- wrap style with contrast sash
- super wide leg
- contrast piping
- cape-let with contrast edging
Inside Leg approx. 64cm
Fabric: 100% woven viscose
Care: dry clean (3% shrinkage may occur)
Proudly made in Great Britain

Customers rave about this vintage-inspired beach pyjama, calling it "insanely comfortable" and "absolutely stunning." The soft fabric and flattering fit received unanimous praise. Shoppers love the stylish design and flowy feel. One noted petite customers may need shoulder adjustments. The main request: more color options beyond the current two.
- Insanely comfortable and so flattering. I want to live in it.
- The fit is amazing and so flattering!
- Soft material, beautifully made, flowy and fun to wear.
This beach pyjama is absolutely fabulous! I’m utterly smitten—someone might have to stage an intervention!🔥❤️
I've been thinking about buying this for years. I finally did it and it's even better than I thought. It is insanely comfortable and so flattering. I want to live in it.
Absolutely stunning! I was unsure about the fit because I have never owned anything quite like this garment; I should not have worried! The fit is amazing and so flattering! I hope they will be made in different colours as they will be a staple in my summer wardrobe.
Everything about this outfit is perfect! Soft material, beautifully made, flowy and fun to wear. I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend :)
Stylish and practical. If you are petite you might need to take the shoulders in a bit. If you are fair haired and/or blue eyed I recommend this. The colour really brings out your complexion. Looking forward to the spring to christen it.
Perfectly lovely. Easy to wear. So stylish and comfortable. I'll keep buying new colours as Foxy makes them!
This being my first Beach Pyjama purchase I wasn't sure how the design would suit my figure. It is actually a very flattering piece with a stunningly feminine neckline - the capelet is simply wonderful and so eye-catching. The wrap style allows for a
perfectly adjustable fit and the Magnolia Kiss fabric is beautiful. I have nothing else quite like this in my collection. So glad I made my purchase.
I have these lovely beach pyjamas in red and now in blue. They're the perfect casual summer suit. The only problem is that there are only two colours!
I love it!!! Is just perfect the fabric is really soft and It fits the body perfectly, it's very comfortable and elegant, when I wear it everyone looks at me, several people have asked me where I bought it. I think I'll have to go for the red one too 🤣
Beautifully made gorgeous fabric fantastic customer service
Stunning & really striking - have received a lot of compliments on this. Lightweight & soft material, moves really nicely.
I purchased the UK12 based on my hip measurement (currently 39”) & that worked well with where the white piping hit. Bodice length was almost too short, but just worked (I’m 5’9, unsure about my torso length).
Perfect fit and gorgeous design I love house of foxy 💕
I bought these in the magnolia print and liked them so much I had to have them in the other colour as well. They look great and feel lovely on. The fabric is very forgiving, can be rolled up in a beach bag and comes out with no creases, and it washes well. I recommend drying on a hanger and then they don't need ironing.
I'm a real 1930s officiando and I snap up everything House of Foxy produces that jives with the 1930s aesthetic. These beach pyjamas are absolutely the cat's whiskers! I bought size 18 according to my hip size and they fit perfectly. I'm 5'8" tall (1.78m) and the length perfectly touches the anklebone. I'd buy this design in as many colours as they make. PLEASE MAKE MORE!
