Anyone remember the Outback Red collection at The Limited?
Never heard about the nightgowns some are mentioning. Maybe regional or a little ahead of my time.
Oh yes. That was a major status brand starting in 5th grade. Everyone wanted the long sleeve henley with a bunch of little buttons and the tag on the outside. Better if you had two different colors to layer.
I still have one! It’s mustard yellow. I haven’t worn it in about 30 years but hopefully my daughter will wear it one day for giggles.
In our area the Outback Red line that was popular had long skirts with lace petticoats and white blouses with lace insets. I was so excited I got the whole outfit when I graduated from 8th grade.
My graduation dress was a pink gunne sax long gown with high neck and lace overlay. I thought it was the most beautiful thing ever! I had seen it in Teen magazine and then found it on clearance after prom season. I then recycled it for a dance in high school.
Sadly we moved in 9th grade and my petticoats were not a thing. But I wore that slip as a nightgown for years.
