Dr. Hoffman's nighties would be ever so practical. For the spring and summer, there would be the white cotton sleeveless gown, with perhaps a tiny little blue bow modestly placed at the neckline with 3/4 length sleeves matching robe with the identical blue bow at the neckline. However, she would splurge on the slippers! They would be a white satin quilted, small stacked heel that would show off her long slender feet so well. She strikes me as a very practical, cost conscious woman who would dress conservatively for the most part but splurge on accessories such as nice scarves, gloves and shoes.
