We wore them but they were a bit baggy. The material resembled J cloths and we had great pleasure ripping them off each night and throwing them away!<br /><br />Also received some paper bloomers one Christmas. These were in fashion for a short period in the early to mid sixties for a short time. I had some royal blue bri nylon ones too, edged with white lace. My sister's were red!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-88614860825148230862010-07-21T11:52:25.927-04:002010-07-21T11:52:25.927-04:00Amanda - probably for a few dollars during the sum...Amanda - probably for a few dollars during the summer they may have been a bargain. I like the cat print and the comic strip one...it appears she did the seams herself using duct tape!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-1530417071170231772010-07-20T22:51:51.995-04:002010-07-20T22:51:51.995-04:00I love the idea of these.

I don't think my mom would have liked the concept of these, although she was always hot for a bargain!Amanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-32840882926562251182010-07-20T16:36:05.977-04:002010-07-20T16:36:05.977-04:00Thanks for the comments everyone and as usual, Mar...Thanks for the comments everyone and as usual, Marlene, your observation made me LOL!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-72797854314200502392010-07-20T13:32:41.451-04:002010-07-20T13:32:41.451-04:00I remember the fuss my Aunts threw over the dresse...I remember the fuss my Aunts threw over the dresses; at the time they were hair-dressers (curlers, rat tailed combs and aqua Dippity-Doo!). I was small but remember the slightly stretchy feel of the fabric; IIRC the end to that dress was a spilled coffee stain shortly after and maybe some slight tearing.<br /><br />s-a-h-dAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-69337665999414627892010-07-20T11:20:36.440-04:002010-07-20T11:20:36.440-04:00I like the pattern on the one in the pie ad.

I did cut the bottom off because it was too long on me. I wish I had saved it, but I threw it away!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-75469510055053909942010-07-20T08:36:39.833-04:002010-07-20T08:36:39.833-04:00Yes, I remember and think we tried making one out ...Yes, I remember and think we tried making one out of grocery bags, lol!Robin@DecoratingTennisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896928242190026852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-51259587690947310402010-07-20T08:14:13.357-04:002010-07-20T08:14:13.357-04:00HA!!
