O Susie, is you going for a bathe or to a fancy dress ball?
EDITORS COMMENTS
This playful question posed by the caption of this charming 1930s postcard captures the essence of the flamboyant fashion trend that swept the seaside resorts during the Roaring Twenties and Thirties. The image features a stylishly dressed woman, Susie, standing at the water's edge, her wide-legged pyjamas, or palazzo pants, billowing in the breeze. Her hat adorned with a sunny, playful design sits atop her head, shielding her from the sun. The fashion for exaggerated pyjamas, often made from light, airy fabrics, was a popular choice for holidaymakers seeking comfort and style during their seaside sojourns. These pyjamas, with their wide, flowing trousers, were not only practical for lounging on the sand but also made a bold fashion statement. The vogue for these flamboyant pyjamas was a humorous take on the traditional notion of bathing attire, blurring the lines between daywear and eveningwear. This postcard, with its witty caption and delightful illustration, offers a glimpse into the amusing and fashionable world of the 1920s and 30s. Susie's sunny disposition and her playful response to the question in the caption add to the overall charm of this timeless image, making it a delightful reminder of a bygone era. Whether it was a day at the beach or an evening at a fancy dress ball, Susie's pyjamas were the perfect choice for making a splash in style.
