Everything Old is New Again

[neadods]

When I was a little girl, I loved long flannel and cotton nightgowns. I'd sweep around the house in them, imagining myself some historical damsel. Then I grew up and decided that sleep shorts were more practical - and besides, I could get my dressup ya-yas out in public in any number of costume-related venues (SCA, cons, renfair...)

This year I'm buying a fair amount of my ren wardrobe - I don't have time to sew, I have far fewer outfits than I thought, etc. And while I can't justify it in light of my sewing skills, I am justifying it in light of "well, these bloomers and chemises will be useful year round." Why?

I can sleep in them.
