Meet the Harlow Pajamas! Inspired
by Old Hollywood glamour, this set
will have you lounging in sumptuous
style. A high-waisted elastic pant pairs
with a tunic-style top. The waist sash
and faux frog closures give these pjs
a dose of style. Make them in a silky
solid for a Jean Harlow effect or use a
cute printed cotton for a beach pajama
vibe!
