Hello,

LISAgogo.com. Glad you're here!
As a
small addition to the product range, here is some information on the
development of sleepwear. Enjoy reading:
The
pajamas, which are widely used today, were discovered by the British
colonial rulers in India. They consisted of light trousers, which were
held together at the waist with a cord or a cummerbund, and a light
shirt with a button placket. Then, in the middle of the 17th century,
the British brought this clothing to mainland Europe. Here, these
pajamas were also adopted as leisurewear for a while. But then this
item of clothing was forgotten again.
It was only after 1870, when trade between India and Great Britain
flourished again, that pajamas largely replaced the nightshirt as
sleepwear by the end of the First World War. Thanks to colonial trade
in Europe, silk and cotton, as comfortable fabrics, were now
sufficiently available for their manufacture. The term pajamas is
derived from the Persian word "پايجامه / pāīdschāma / legwear".
Today's pajamas consist of leg-length, wide-cut trousers and a
long-sleeved top. This is often cut like a T-shirt and no longer has
buttons. The trousers are held to the body by an elastic band. There
are also versions with short sleeves or legs, which are often referred
to as "shorties". The materials are varied: cotton, merino wool,
flannel, jersey, terry cloth, silk or satin and numerous mixed fabrics
(cotton with viscose or with polyester) are established textile fabrics.
It has recently become fashionable to wear pajamas as a lifestyle item
in public. But this is not really new, because there have been several
attempts in the past, especially by celebrities, to establish "pajamas"
in public: The fashion designer Coco Chanel caused a stir in the 1920s
in Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera caused a stir with her public
appearance in "beach pajamas", consisting of a loose shirt and flowing
pants. She was then forbidden to enter the local casino in this look. -
When Bette Davis wore her husband's pajama top as a nightgown in the
1942 film "Old Acquaintance", it caused a great stir. After the film's
premiere, men's nightwear for women was a temporary trend. - Playboy
publisher Hugh Hefner is also said to have practiced the "out of bed"
look in public. Apparently as an act of rebellion against the
established dress code and prudishness.
In some areas, e.g. Shanghai, it became common from the 1970s onwards
to wear pajamas in the neighbourhood and also when shopping. At the
2010 World Expo, the Chinese government made great efforts to stop this
"uncivilised" custom. The Chinese adopted pajamas from the West, as a
sign of prosperity and coolness, so to speak. In England, where this
was also common practice for a long time, the department store chain
'Tesco' banned its customers from entering the store wearing pajamas.
