Big shout out to Styleite.com for digging up these pics, which find the ladies of VS in the 1970s lounging about in their lacy garments, silk pajamas and furry slippers, with flowers (including baby's breath!) in their hair.
And, as Styleite points out that hindsight is always 20/20 when it comes to fashion, so it is when it comes to home fashions, too. The sets on which the women awkwardly pose include some truly fug rugs, gold lame pillows, hideous potted plants and lace curtains (not to mention an adorable doggy who's so bored with the proceedings that he appears to be sleeping through them).
