You could feel like Cinderella wearing any of Van Raalte's sleep gowns...like the one to your left that I sold in my shop quite some time ago. It was circa the 1950s from Van Raalte's lovely MYTH line. The little picture above of Cinderella and her stepsisters is from a 1940s/1950s set of children's books that I own and which have been in our family since my childhood.
Van Raalte also had a lovely line of OPAQUELON lingerie items and I currently have available in the shop the lovely white Opaquelon slip to the left. The red Opaquelon slip pictured far left sold but I show it here as a beautiful example. Van Raalte had some of the prettiest colors and decorative work to their lingerie.
Pictured far left is a beautiful sexy black OPAQUELON full slip that I sold in my shop and to the immediate left is a currently available in my shop Van Raalte slip known in the 40s and 50s as "suit slips" or "secretaries slips". Below is a currently available lush, lacey half slip by Van Vaalte
Presently in the Vintage Slips section of my shop is this ultra lacey overlay half slip by Van Raalte. Pictured to the far right is a beautiful example of a VAN RAALTE SHEERIO 1940s/1950s Nightgown which I sold in my shop in 2010.
