What happened to my nightie??

Last night I got a fresh gown out of my drawer, my most recently purchased item for sleepwear. I had begun slowly disposing of those gowns which had seen better days and getting new ones to replace them. This particular gown caught my attention because it reminded me of something I wore as a teenager, a dashiki, actually owned by my sister, Lori.  When the gown arrived, I just put it on and wore a few nights before putting it in the laundry. 

Via rotation of no obvious fashion, this gown was next for me to wear. I slipped it on, and noticed it was a bit stubborn going down my body. What in the world happened??  Once I finally got it on, it fit like second skin! Oh my, that was flattering! I thought at first I should take it off and get a different one, but instead toughed it out. There was no difficulty in getting comfortable in my bed and it did not choke me to death, but it was certainly not as much fun to wear as it had been when brand new. The products reviews, read after this incident, suggest hanging to dry as the item might shrink. Yeah, that would have been good to know! I am trying to think of anyone who could use this gown, but I am fairly unique in my tastes and shape. Oh well....I could just slice it up the back like a hospital gown!
