Did you know?
This is a fairly typical design with the dots and circles, these were even worn out on formal occasion. Some of the adds I looked at said "Wide Trousers
Are the Newest Flair in Beach Pajamas" in a 1929 ad.

In History of 20th Century Fashion, by Elizabeth Ewing she states, "Beach pyjamas, with flaring legs, had been anticipated by slim lounging pyjamas, which Chanel was making in the early 'twenties and which were soon being worn by the fashionable. The beach ones, however, had a life all their own and were worn exclusively on beaches everywhere, usually with backless sun-tops or sleeveless blouses....It was the beginning of a new category of clothes, the start of the 'casuals' which were to have a great vogue in future years."
