50s Nylon Chiffon Top Pink BabyDoll60s PJ Pajama Top Lace Roses VFG Van Raalte
This sweet babydoll lingerie top dates to the late 1950s/early 1960s. Although it started life as bedroom wear, a modern girl might put it on as a going out top. It is styled with a front yoke, edged in lace and embellished with lace roses in darker pink on either side.. The top is also edged at the hem with a narrow band of lace.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
