DRESSED

I was shopping in Anthropologie last week. You may remember that Anthropologie is where I bought the nightgown I wore during the Summer of 2007. Don't worry, I still wear it. I just know it's a nightgown now.

Anyway, while browsing in Anthro, I found myself once again looking at the nightgown/loungewear rack thinking they were dresses. Son of a gun. So my question is this: what makes it a nightgown and what makes it a dress? It's not the material, so what is it? Pricing? Quality of craftsmanship? So today, we're going to play a game.

According to Anthropologie.com, Is It a Dress, or Is It a Nightgown?

Item A:
Item B:
Item C:
Item D:
Item E:
Item F:
Item G:
Item H:Don't cheat! Just cast your votes in the comment section, guessing which you think are dresses and which are nightgowns. By the way, I labeled all the pictures as Dress A, Dress B, etc., so don't go thinking that's a clue. Answers will come tomorrow!

  6. B, C, D, and G are nightgowns. The rest are dresses. I think the spaghetti straps classify them as nightgowns, but I don't know why that should be.

  8. First off, you make a very valid point. What makes what a what?? I think the nightgown/dress you own looks totally cute as a dress. I love when you wear it. So here are my guesses:

    Dress
    NG
    NG
    NG
    Dress
    Dress
    NG
    NG

    I am interested to see how I do. LOVE YOU

    A - Dress
    B - ????? going with Gown
    C - Gown
    D - Dress
    E - Dress
    F - Dress
    G - Dress
    H - ????? going with Dress

  14. ok, I spent a lot of time comparing each dress/gown, analyzing strap size, cut, length, etc and I thought I had pretty good picks. I went to their website and my whole world got turned upside down. I wonder how many people I've seen at the bars wearing nightgowns.

  15. I'm goin with B, C, and G as nightgowns....love that store!

  16. B,D,E,G - Nightgowns. Obviously we are all just as confused as you....and I had to keep scrolling up and down and up and down before making my presumably incorrect decision.

  17. I'd guess B, C, and G are nightgowns? (I love Anthropologie.)

  18. Wes, you would cheat. Too bad Anthropologie doesn't have DialIdol.com.
