issue (not available separately) |

Nightcap
Remember when your mom said you'd be warmer with your hat on? People
used to take that seriously enough to apply it even to bed. OK, so
this one has holes for the bear's ears - you get the idea. |
| Nylon
tricot nightgown, c. 1945, from Dorothy of the Gallant Forties.

Nightgown
At first a nightgown was just a shift or chemise meant as a day
time undergarment but that did double duty for nightwear as well.
Eventually nightgowns became garments in their own right. This one
is a 1940s version in nylon tricot. It's from the 1940s, but the
same or very similar style could have been fround any time from
the forites on into the sixties.
