Scantily Clad

The New Scanty Housecoat

You’re grateful that you inherited Grandma Mildred’s salty wit and genius turkey-basting skills.

But her floral muumuu? Hello, Goodwill pile.

As it turns out, Gran had it goin’ on. And the designers at Scanty agree, which is why they’ve recreated the ever-comfy housecoat — updated, de-mothballed, and very ready to wear.

Like the sweet babe of a DVF shirtdress and your favorite nightgown, the cotton jersey onesie comes in pretty, punchy patterns like Paisley Girls, Tutti Fruiti, and Woodstock.

More presentable than two-piece jammies and covering more ground than a teddy, it’s the latest in loungewear — perfect for baking a pie, mellowing on the couch, or skipping out to run errands.

Between Grandpa sweaters and Scanty housecoats, your closet will look like retirement central.

You can credit your gran for a job well done.
