In my ramp up to last Sunday’s season premiere of Mad Men, I re-watched the first season. Of course, the ladies’ outfits (and Don, duh) made me swoon just as much as the first time around. But something else stood out that I hadn’t paid much attention to initially—the sleepwear. Most specifically Betty Draper’s short, flowy, chiffon nighties.
Now, I still pretty much look like a college girl in a dorm when I crawl into bed at night, but I’m seriously considering stocking up on a few of these romantic numbers. Don’t you love how Betty lounges around all day in one sometimes? (She evens shoots at neighbors pigeons!) And they do look incredibly comfortable, even for hot summer nights. Plus, the little robes that go over them? Love!
I found some great ones on Etsy here and here that I’m loving lots.
What about you? Would you wear proper lady pajamas a la Betty?

Yes! I love super cute nighties. I first got one when I moved in with my boyfriend, just sort of as a joke, but now I love them and pick new ones up all the time. I'm currently searching for a kimono to go over them.
