Picked the smoking jacket up at a garage sale. The elderly man that sold it to me was such a sweet heart. He told me that he and his wife had bought the set in Hawaii on their honeymoon in 1953. Every night they would attend cocktail hour in their matching jackets.
The cream colored dress and the brown brocade wiggle dress are my favorites. I got them, as well as an entire wardrobe at an estate sale a few weeks ago.
And the full hostess gown was at a church garage sale. I stopped at the sale on the last day and last 15 minutes, everything you could fit in a paper bag for $1. Thanks for looking.
