What an educational experience! she says, with a mad glint in her eye. Turns out it was not the murders but the sewing of nightgowns that pushed Lady Macbeth over the edge.
Couldn’t Decide What to Wear

I met an internationally esteemed writer at a literary party being given in her honor. She was wearing a beautiful pink, flouncy, frilly dress. I complimented her on it. She said, ‘Ach, it’s my nightgown. I couldn’t decide what else to wear.’

Pajamas vs Nightie
What is your preferred form of sleepwear? Pajamas, or a nightgown/nightdress/nightshirt – or do you secretly sport a onesie?

Can you recall having a particular favourite night-garment (past or present)?
I remember a very vivid pair of childhood pajamas which were the exact colour of the lemon element of lemon meringue pie.
Mmm – lemon meringue pie…
