<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 643847, member: 255"]I understand-just saying that IMO its original intent is meaningless. Irrelevant. Young people are far more apt to wear it out over layers as a dress or poolside than in the bedroom so I’d call it a sheer dress over a nightgown and agree with you. If it were being listed, nightgown would be a keyword too but I think stretching out in bed with that sleeve and back tie would be beyond annoying. I can see it as a “party hardy” piece but have no guess how Sears originally marketed it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone is so inclined to research old Sears ads and catalogues from the mid to late 70’s I think they’d find similar if not exact and then they’ll hopefully post. Not volunteering for that job LOL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
