A Lady's Pyjama

A fashion writer in 1886 referred to this garment as a Lady's Pyjama. Whether you call it pyjama or pajamas, our family would call it a nightgown. It was a 5-piece pattern that was offered for sale in a magazine designed for girls.

It makes a great example of vintage fashions from the 1880s. Other than the teeny waist, often a side-effect of ridiculously tight corsets, this nightgown drawing doesn't look all that different than some designs that are still popular for winter nightwear.
