Pajamas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Pyjama" redirects here. For other meanings of "pyjama" or "pajama" or similar see Pajamas (disambiguation).


Muslim girl, India, in paijama and kurti, 1844.
Pajamas in US English, spelled pyjamas in British English (see also spelling differences), often shortened to PJs, jimjams orjammies, can refer to several related types of clothing. The original pāijāma are loose, lightweight trousers fitted with drawstringwaistbands and worn in South and West Asia by both sexes.[1] Outside South Asia, especially in English-speaking nations, pajamas are loose-fitting, two-piece garments derived from the original garment and worn chiefly for sleeping,[2] but sometimes also for lounging,[3]also by both sexes.[4] More generally, pajamas may refer to several garments, for both daywear and nightwear, derived from traditional pajamas and involving variations of style and material.

The word pyjama or pajama, which originally derives from the Persian word پايجامه (pāyjāmeh, from pāy 'leg' and jāmeh 'garment'), was incorporated into the English language during the British Raj through the Hindustani language (the progenitor language of modern-dayUrdu and Hindi).[5]
 
I rest my case: The one on the left is Dawn French playing the VoD playing the Dibley Easter Bunny. :(

she looks lovely!
Sweet, yes, but it's really not the most flattering shape or cut. :(


This on ebay, cheaper than I expected, thanks to bad photography and not the best description in the world. I hope that I won't need to do more doing than swapping over a couple of ribbons.

:cool: I had no idea it was polari. I just know it as a funny word for breasts.
FWIW the whole joke of the Julian and Sandy comedy sketches (on the radio a long time ago, when homosexuality was still more or less illegal in the UK except in private and over 21) was that people would hear them saying things in polari like "Have you seen her lallies? That skirt she wore at the weekend hardly covered them" and get exactly the wrong end of the stick. :D

Aye I know, I just didn't know lallies was one of them.
