Christine Vancouver: Bringing Old Hollywood to the Boudoir

Ingrid Bergman

Everyone at A La Folie knows that I'm a nut for 1940's fashion. From blouson-backed dresses to mid-calf pencil skirts to seamed stockings, there is something undeniably feminine about apparel from eras gone by, and it's always a treat to find designers that are able to reclaim a bit of old world glamour.

Christine Vancouver Long Printed Robe $370

Christine Vancouver Long Pink/Almond Gown $335

Enter Christine Vancouver, an iconic line of silk charmeuse loungewear befitting the most discerning of nostalgia-obsessed starlets. From lace-busted long gowns to luxurious printed robes, Christine Vancouver has it all. These bias-cut wonders are as true to Deco fashion as is possible, and fit a variety of body types, from lithe ladies to curvaceous cuties. And just because Christine Vancouver's pieces are considered loungewear, it doesn't mean they can't be worn out and about -- the slinky gowns are sexy, yet restrained in the best possible way, making them a great ode to 1930's fashion when worn outside the bedroom.
