In the early 70s, loungewear in the form of caftans and luxurious pajama sets became important for entertaining at home. As women's wardrobes became more casual overall, eveningwear was not unaffected. Today, loungewear to be worn for hostessing from 1971, all by Giorgio di Sant'Angelo. You may be surprised at the prices of these garments, expecially considering they are all made from synthetic fabrics.
