On Sleepwear
He said, “How come you never wear stuff like that to bed?” indicating the short gown with delicate straps adorning the woman on TV. “All you ever wear is shorts and tee shirts.”
So I thought about it.
I could improve the night-time wardrobe, I suppose. There’s no reason to look like a slob, or wear 10-year-old nightshirts, tee shirts scored as conference or vendor swag and knit shorts that will never see the outdoors. Seriously; what if there were a fire? I’d be humiliated (and yes, that’s what I worry about.)
Options:
This is lovely, and by Vera Wang. At $195 it’s worth more than the combined total of everything I’ve ever considered pajamas. I’ll bet it’s comfortable, though, and I’m all about comfort.
I’m not big on wearing white, in fact, I never wear white. Red is my color. This is a possibility.
I wouldn’t even wear this at the nursing home when I’m a great-granny. It’s made even less appealing by the headless mannequin.
I don’t know. This doesn’t really look comfortable to me. I do want sleep wear.
Apparently, lots of celebrities wear these. Cute, but maybe a little too little-girly for me.
I may regret this later, but what do you think?

Oh, exhale! I’m not going to say a darn thing, even if it kills me to hold it in.

I can’t believe it. I would have expected a comment brushfire but even Dwight held his, uh, tongue.

Sorry, been offline.
Gown #1: Breasts on Stilts Girl attacks Tokyo! RUN!
For some reason I’ve never liked dresses/gowns that are basically a skirt up to the bra line. This one makes the woman kinda look like a giant pair of legs. On the plus side it’s probably comfy. My girlfriend is a seamstress and makes all her own dresses, which have included a few exceptions to this rule.
Gown #2: Lady in Red
I agree. It seems to cover all the bases you mentioned. It’s very attractive, doesn’t look uncomfortable (depends on the fabric though), and very, very RED. The only thing left to question is whether or not you want to be wearing it outside if your house is on fire.
Gown #3: Curtain Granny Mannequin Antoinette
No comment needed.
Gown #4: The Slicin’ Dicin’ Booby-Mincer!
Could a good rule of thumb be that any gown that is modeled outside of somewhere that looks like the set of an 11oclock Skin-a-max feature be considered trashy? I mean, I wouldn’t have even guessed that was a gown. I was briefly afraid that Tony Scott was remaking Taxi Driver and that was his replacement for Jodie Foster!
As much as women over-worry about stretch marks, I fail to see how anyone could think this a good idea.
Gown #5: Easy-Bake Lovin’
Other than the “little-girly” factor there’s not really anything wrong with these, but if you are the worn shorts and shirt type… it might make for a toasty transition. Might be nice come winter though.
Whatever you decide on, priority one should be comfort. Most guys should agree where the scales should lean when faced with a cranky to sexy correlation. As for running outside… that’s what bathrobes are for.
