I was shopping the other day, and I found a dress that sort of looked like a bedshirt, the kind of thing men in movies about the Revolutionary War are always wearing when they wake up in the middle of the night and light candles and find out that the British are coming. But it was also kind of cute (if that’s in any way imaginable), and I decided to try it on, and it was kind of cute, but I still thought it might be an actual NIGHTGOWN. A nightdress. I thought of looking online and making sure it was indeed intended to be a modern woman's garment, but then I decided it’s probably best not to wear a dress that resembles an eighteenth-century patriot’s pajamas – even if it’s not intended as such.
