Guest Blogger: Miss Neira Shares Her Favorite Spots to Shop for Vintage-Inspired Sleepwear

I recently received the following question from a reader: "I love glamorous nightgowns and PJs. (Think gowns and loungewear seen in classic Hollywood films.) Do you have ideas on where I might find such treats? —Sally in Dallas"

So to help me answer this question, I decided to consult my friend Miss Neira, author of the fabulous blog by the same name (http://missneira.blogspot.com/), as she is an expert on all-things lingerie…especially the glamorous vintage-inspired kind!

Here, Miss Neira shares her top vintage lingerie picks inspired by two classic Hollywood vixens, plus a list of her favorite online lingerie boutiques. Enjoy! —BB





The Marilyn
1. Di Murini Pajama Pant and Camisole (sold seperately)
2. Mary Green silk Georgette gown





The Rita
1. Francesca Satin Teddy
2. Fredrick's of Hollywood satin leopard gown

SUCH an amazing post, Neira! I love the way you chose sleepwear for two different personalities - the Marilyn or the Rita. Given the fact that I want both the Di Murini Pajama Pant and Camisole and the Francesca Satin Teddy I believe I'm a mix of the two!! :-)

Hey BB,
I recently saw this picture of Dakota Fanning. http://xa3.xanga.com/3188571147628263831400/b210335472.jpg
and I'm in love with what she's wearing!
Do you know who her skirt is by? And where to find it?
Thanks!
