Bed Jacket

Aug 5, 2010 | by admin | Lingerie Resource | Lingerie

A bed jacket is a short, below bust or waist length jacket specifically intended be worn in bed while sitting up. Worn over the nightgown, the bed jacket can be found in a wide variety of fabrics and treatments. It is most likely derived from 19th combing jackets, and was popular into the early 1960s.
