    Any chance these might be Billie Burke pajamas? Probably not but it would have been nice! These pajamas came in this carrying case with a handle. The pink pocket inside the box is the same color as the pajamas but not the same fabric. Not sure if that matters. The pajamas are some sort of satin rayon I think. At one point the top had elastic at the waist but it’s gone on one side and extremely brittle on the other. It snaps closed along the ivory trim. No other closures. The pants are elastic and wide legged. The box is very warped and the satin holding the snap on top is shattered and fragile. Thanks for your help!

    These are souvenir pajamas, usually picked up by soldiers for sweethearts back home. Nothing to do with the Actress. You will see them in various colors with embroidery, sometimes with slippers and robe in box too.

    Later 1940s-1950s.

    I've sold quite a few of these and they are always desirable.

    I agree with Carla and I had a pair like this in the same sort of box years ago.
