Hey sassy gals! Cat here with a challenge!!! Yes an Olga challenge...well lets see here ladies...This is the amazing Olga San Juan...a 1940's actress with all the right curves & moves... I just adore her and her name so fit into something else i just adore...OLGA'S!!!Yes these Olga's! The amazing Vintage Olga nightgowns of yester years...
Do you know about these gals??? Well let this kitten give you the scoop...You see this is it...the fool proof Olga nightie...this is by far the most flattering nightgown in history! And kittens i have 9 of them...why you ask?...take a peek...
You see gals Vintage Olga night gowns will fit almost any size...Really they do! & you will look sooooooooo good!! They are made of spandex and are amazingly comfy, cool, and dare i say it a lil' sexy kittens!
There have been many styles through out the years. Some of my favorite styles are from the 40's & 60's...each Olga has a style number on the tag & has a different pattern to the lace layout...some a lil showy & others very elegant and tasteful! Find your favorite style number...or like me...just love' em all ! I collect all different colors...& find them everywhere you just gotta know what to look for.
The trick to the Olga...the spandex...and that they all have a back like this which gives much support for the chest and even the largest of chests don't need a bra...it's magic!

I have never heard about these. I will definitely try one now! :) They look great!
I hadn't heard of them either.They are so pretty!I think i will go & try & find some now:D
Thanks Cat:) xxx
Those are gorgeous! I can just see myself coming down to the kitchen in one of those. My girls would fall OUT not seeing me in a tshirt and shorts! Of course, I'd have to get a robe, too...
Hi Cat,
These are gorgeous ! They also look so well made. Are they still in business ? I love these beautiful vintage ones you own, stunning!
Best to you and yours,
Elise
Where do you find them? So pretty I would wear one!
Okay, I'm in! Thanks for the tip and the encouragement. My husband will be so pleased. ;)
You are amazing! These are gorgeous!! Just when I thought I had it all...now I am off to get me one of these babies...and I can say...but Honey...I bought this for you! That Pink one is devine!
Kisses Doll,
JennyMay
These look great! So pretty and feminine! Just like you Cat. :)
I'll keep my eye open for them.
((Hugs))
Laura
wow I have never heard of them either. I am a curvy lady and I find it hard to find vintage nightwear in larger sizes in my price range so I am definitely going to be looking for some of these now. Thanks for letting me know about them. xx
You had me at "size down"
Sounds like my kind of challenge! I can't wait for the weekend when I can go on the Olga hunt!

My mother wore Olga nightgowns, and in the 80s we had an Olga outlet store in the town I lived. Discounted Olgas, including bras, panties and teddies. I think I remember them around in the 90s, too,and didn't know they are not making them anymore :-(
Thanks for sharin' I'll definetly be looking for these. Lovely! Vintage Joann
I have never heard of them, but you had me at:
"which gives much support for the chest and even the largest of chests don't need a bra...it's magic!"
nightgowns and I don't mesh right, I don't care what anyone says, being a big busted girl is not always so great! I'm hunting ebay right now for something classy that I can wear! Thank you so much for the wonderful showcase!
These are wonderful. I've seen them, but never knew what they were called. I'm headed to eBay now!
Thanks!

Oh Cat these are sooooo beautiful... I love all yours :D

So sassy! And a size DOWN you say? I am in heaven! Olga, Olga, My Olga, where are you???
I love it- Size Down!!!! How dreamy. I also wanted to add that when we were going through my dear departed and oh-so-proper Grandmother's things I found the most delightful red lace slip that looks a lot like these nightgowns (you just never know do you?) anyway I have it now and it's just right for a curvy girl like me. I will certainly try a Vintage Olga too- thank you so much for the tip! You Rock Beautiful.
I love these. They are so pretty. No wonder you love them.
Oh I have to try to get hold of one of these! They are just lovely! The light pink one is my favourite, I think!
You have a beautiful collection of Olga's nightgowns. I must say, you've inspired me once more. I'm on the challenge now.
Wow, these are beautiful!!!
Please let us in on how we can find them. My hubby will love to see me in this instead of the normal p.j.'s!! Thanks!
I Love, Love, Love your blog! It's a new discovery for me. Oh, and I actually HAD that same Olga gown in salmon in college (raised by a southern belle who believed in dressing right, even for a night of sweet dreamin') - it was so pretty that other girls in my dorm used to try it on just to see how good they would look!
I am so very long gone from college but I still get a lovely nightgown from hubby every year for Christmas. Thanks for your wonderful blog, I'd like to share the link on the blog I started (it's no great shakes, like yours, just for fun)
Oh, These are my favorites and I've had several; but can't find them anywhere. I've been looking for new Olga's on line...anywhere. I just love them and so does the hubs. Do they still make them? If not...they should. Black, salmon, red were the best. Thanks so much for giving me hope. Mumzie

I just won one on ebay and can not wait to get it in the mail! Thanks for the tip.
I have a few and can totally witness to everything said in this post. These are THE BOMB, keep all your womanliness where it goes, and totally glamorous. And once a long silky robe is over it, you still feel like a goddess with all that flowing fabric. Delish!
Wow, I have a gown just like that... I haven't checked the brand yet... But man oh man do I feel like a sexy kitten loungin' around in that....
I've enjoyed my visit here, your music is great. I'm reading my new camera manual and tapping my toes to your tunes. Thanks!
Speaking of vintage Olga's, here's another one to ad to your list: OLGA BACLONOVA, the silent/early talkie film actress best known for playing Cleopatra in the movie "Freaks" (1932).

Oh how pretty. I need to go thru the box of nighties I took from my grand and great grandmothers things to see if there are any in there. I just put the box up as I am a bit larger and thought none would fit. humph...and everyone thought I was nuts for keeping these things.
Tiffany
I totally collect these!! I found a strip mall of only thrift stores in Sun City AZ. It is a GOLD MINE. I find these almost every time I go. They sure do make a girl feel sexy!
Great post!
I agree with you. I bought most of mine from Dillards in the 90's. I had the leopard one...wore it plumb out, the black, pink, turqouise and a white one. Love them! Vicki
LOVE, LOVE VINTAGE OLGA Nightgowns! I bought my first one back in the 80's. Little did I know I was buying such a treasure. Over the years I have accumulated several & are now starting to sell some. I must have made quite an impression, it wasn't until recently my daughter told me she used to play dress up in them and some she won't part with!
Ever since I was little I have loved lingerie and pretty nightgowns. This Olga one is amazing! You can just see how good it must look on a moving body. Have to search for one! :) xo
Wow, that is a cute nightgown. I definitely want to get one sometime. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
Well I haven't seen one of these before but I sure will be keeping my eye out . . . thanks for reposting, I missed the first one!
Julie
Oh wow this is magic. Where does one find the OLGA gowns. I'm in SA. Do you get them online. I'm just dying to get my hand on one or two.....or more
