1950s

Polyester Boudoir

by Sarah Sheehan

In honour of Valentine’s Day, a boudoir-themed ad from the February/March 1959 issue of Vogue Pattern Book, British edition:

"'TERYLENE' has changed all that!" Vogue 9309 slip Vogue 9179 nightdress and peignoir in a polyester fibre - 1959 advertisement
Modern fabrics show self-respect through good behaviour.

(Terylene was produced by Imperial Chemical Industries. The patterns are Vogue 9309 and Vogue 9179.)

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
