When your night gown wears out at the top, but the bottom is still ok, cut the top off, and replace it with a T-shirt. Cut the hem off the T-shirt. Put a long zipper in front to keep from pulling it over your head. I use an 18 inch zipper. It wears very good, and is very soft.
Gosh, that is a great idea. It makes me wonder about toddler t-shirts and their dresses that no longer fit...imagine that as the new night time fashion! Thank you!
