More From Miss Haney

   This is my favourite musical number, she nails it.

Carol Haney Dances , Sings And A Bit Soused In My Favourite Wiggle Dress

Doris Day and Carol Haney

   With the passing of Doris Day this week I promised myself I would watch all of her musicals . I started with The Pajama Game 1957, which I found on Daily Motion. It might get deleted since her passing, so hurry up and watch it .
     The 1950s fashions are out of this world in this flick, so bright and cheery.  Here are my favorites that Doris and her co-star Carol Haney wore. First is her simple blue pencil skirt ,white blouse and red belt to command attention as a supervisor for the gals. At the company's picnic we find her character becoming a bit softer in a white sundress and blue scarf ;she stands out in the crowd of colorful day dresses. When Babe and Sid are committed to each other we see her in tight black pants with a yellow stripped shirt, could have been a pajama top ( the movie lobby card has it colorized) Close to the ending she wears all black with touches of color, a polka dot scarf  and as the union rep she is serious in a pair of black pants, a black wool cardigan and a gingham red and white shirt with a stiff collar. The color red is a theme in this film, after all it's about love.

   But my favorite is the ending, both she and her leading man John Raitt , (who happens to be Bonnie Raitt's dad),  they are wearing the economical pj's for love birds. Ah.... how cute!

 Sorry for the blurry photo, this photo is protected. I had to take a screen shot. Well you get the idea of these famous pajamas. Aren't they the cutest, and yes they were copied after this movie.  Here's a better one...

 Her co- star was Carol Haney, now she had some talent. Haney was discovered by Gene Kelly, just Google it.  She gets to wear some fabulous dresses also.  I just love her in this polka dot new look day dress that she wears in the office scene , and when she's singing to Sid.

 For me the most dazzling dress is a dress we only get to see her in from the mid -waist and back, she moves to quickly to capture it. Her dress is a cocktail dress that is done in blue and trimmed in green with matching tassel.

   Haney was such a good comedian in this restaurant scene at Hernando's Hideaway you gotta watch her closely, she a scream.  I was sad to find out that she died at age 39, she was a wonderful dancer and actress.

Adding Some New Items This Week

   Here are some garments as promised.  All of these will be listed on my website in a few days.


First is my 1970s tiny leaf print two piece set by California Girl.

Next is a sweet 70s apron dress by Design House made in Japan , very collectible.

This maxi skirt from the mid 60s, might have come with jacket at one time. I believe it is a home sewn skirt.

A sweet Hawaiian tunic by Caro of Honolulu, from the late 60s.

 Now for this gold open front blazer comes from the late 70s, very disco. It is by Boston Maid.

 Here's a 50s 60s hard to determine the exact era it comes from. It's done in a jade green satin with tiny black butterflies. This was custom made, no tag or label.

 A sweet 80s pleated skirt by Jane Schaffhausen , done in rayon.

 Love this 60s Victorian inspired blouse, by Miss H. Looks perfect paired with this Jane Schafhausen skirt.

 For those warm nights ahead, a sweet 1960s ice blue trapeze style nightgown by Shadowline.

And More Coming Soon

Just got some new vintage to list on the website. I have tons to plow through, so stay tuned.  I need to steam a few and then I will be listing them shortly.  Here's a sneak peek.!

 Just a quick side note, most labels for resale are now being slashed with a permanent markers from chartiy shops  and now I'm seeing them at estate sales too. The marks do not reflect the condition of the garments. Many retirement homes require a last name on their dweller's garments, and when they pass away this is what we find at their estate .

Have a great day!
