That's the Milliner's Pajamas!
Jan. 20th, 2011 07:23 amOk, so i almost never do product advocacy here, and when i do it's usually something like a new reference book that's come out or a new line of textile paints or whatever. But bear with me, because i'm actually about to tell you about pajamas.
And, you might think this is topical--there are several characters who wear pajamas in Angels in America, and that's the show i've been posting about of late. But, no. It is literally about pairs of actual pajamas, one of which i'm wearing even as i type this entry.
See, recently Kathleen Fasanella a patternmaker for the fashion industry and author of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Sewn Product Making, posted a product review of some pajamas on her Fashion Incubator blog. For Kathleen to speak highly of the construction details of any sewn product is in and of itself a good recommendation in my book--but they also had this cool print on them of what appeared to be snowflakes at first, but then upon closer inspection turned out to be images of rhinestone brooches. How perfect is that, for a crafts artisan? Heck, i just stitched a vintage brooch like that onto a hat last month!
Then i paged through some more of the offerings at Soma, and came across these pajamas, covered with images of hat styles surmounting eyes and lips. Toppers! Cloches! And on sale, no less! How could i resist?
So, i thought perhaps i would share it here, in case there are pajama-seekers among my readership similarly swayed by such things. Kathleen was right, they are well-put-together. My only criticism (and one she mentioned as well) is that they are sold as separates instead of as a set. I guess though if you only want bottoms or a top, that's a plus though.
