    This comment is a bit late for this post, but I wanted to give you some info about the gingham “nightgown” you picked up at the sale! It is actually not a nightgown as it has snaps down the entire front, and the snaps (or buttons or zipper) would make it somewhat uncomfortable to sleep in. As an almost senior citizen, I was familiar with these “housecoats” (sometimes called “house-dresses”), as something that a woman would put on to wear around the house! Slightly different than a plain bathrobe, it could be worn any time of the day to cook, clean, do laundry, and other chores around the house. Both my mother and grandmother would put them on after returning home from an errand. They would take off their nicer clothes (like a dress or other outfit worn outside of the home), and put on a “ housecoat/dress” just like we children were made to change out of our school clothes and put on play clothes when we got home in the afternoon!). Often, a housecoat, like your gingham one, would have also had a matching nightgown and then, it would be used as a bathrobe in the warmer weather! However, mostly such a housecoat/dress would go over the woman’s underwear and slip when she got home from the grocery store for example! Whatever it is called, It is very cute and it deserves to be WORN OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE!! Just thought you might find that interesting though!!😁 (When I was a kid we literally would have at the MOST, no more than 5 outfits for school; a Sunday dress and shoes; and play clothes (hand-me-down clothes or older clothes that were a little small or stained—clothes that were okay to get dirty!).
