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.

PHILMY

The only Van Raalte Trademark we could find for "Philmy" related specifically to hosiery, but we have seen several lingerie garments with this label dating from the 40s and 50s.

This remarkable Philmy full slip is currently listed on Ebay. Due to the crystal pleats we are dating this as 1950s. The tag is quite faded, but still legible.

Here is a delightful 50s Philmy half slip with deep pleated lace & chiffon hem from Heavenly Vintage Lingerie
