Van Raalte Rhinestones

I love the simplicity of this chiffon top by Van Raalte and I've never seen this design before.  Judging by the font on the tag and the style it's gotta be from the 60s.  A pullover top with raglan sleeves and rhinestone trim.  Sheer orange nylon chiffon.  Not a typical nightgown design, this looks to me like it was part of a two piece pajama set .  Presently on Ebay auction by the Cemetarian.

MOD Cut Out Gloves

These are so cute and I've never seen anything like them. Adorable thumbless Van Raalte gloves in white and red nylon with perky red daisy accents. Photos sent to me by an Ebay seller patlinnea who was trying to ID them. Based on the tag font ( used after 1962 or so) , and mod styling I would say these are 1960s gloves. These gloves are currently up for auction on Ebay.
