night gown

I think this dress is pajamas. I bought it on my trip to Mankato in March. $8 from the vintage rack at the local Salvation Army. I did not try it on but convinced myself that if it didn't fit me, it would fit one of my sisters. The dress doesn't fit anyone. I sewed some lace binding tape into the side seams to tie in the back, hoping to cinch it in and give it some shape. I also cut an inch or so out of the shoulder straps on either side. The top is puffy and gives the illusion of a bust. This feels unnatural to me. I cut the top layer off the skirt to avoid feeling like a snach of cotton candy.
Hollah.

Snach! My favorite analogy of ever!
That has to find its way into a book...
