Housecoats are certainly not the most fashionable item, neither to my knowledge, are they still commercially avaliable to buy. But looking at some today, I wondered about their possibilities. One I saw, was almost a dress; a long quilted skirt with a thermal polyester drawstring top. It looked a lot better than it sounds, I'll admit. By just cutting off a majority of the bottom, it could have been made into the cutest winter dress, warm and fuzzy. Damn, I want it now. Another idea would be to make a quilted jacket; just lop off the bottom and presto, you have a cuter version of a puffa jacket.
Another vintage item I'm ever so obsessive with is lingerie and bedwear of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Slips, nightgowns, dressing gowns; I am in love with it all. It is the perfect antidote to recent bedwear which is sloganed to death, or completly sexless (or the severe opposite). It manages to be sexy without being slutty, and pretty without being overtly so.
