Anyone who lived through the 1970s probably experienced it: brushed nylon nightwear. The advertisements told us it was soft (it was) it was warm (it was) and it was light-weight (it was). What they didn't tell us was how much static electricity it generated. Rolling over in bed was enough to create a small storm of crackles and sparks.
Until manufacturers worked out that people didn't enjoy sleeping in nightwear that lit up like Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory, designers created brushed nylon nightwear in every style and for every age group. Here are a couple of "romantic" and a couple of "fun" examples from a David Jones catalogue of 1974.
Norman Hartnell luxury
Presenting a superb range of leisure and night wear designed by the Royal Couturier himself, Norman Hartnell. Sheer romantic glamour for your leisure hours at prices that are very affordable.
B. Utterly luxurious long nightgown to wear when you want to look and feel your most beautiful. In soft, looped brushed nylon with glamour trims of lace and deep button opening: also the waistline at the back for perfect fitting.
C. Generous raglan sleeves are the feature of this long gown tailored in luxury-look looped brushed nylon. The waist is shirred and trimmed with fancy lace for extra glamour. All this beauty is fully washable and so easy-care in feminine colours...
Fun things, pretty things
