I’ve got this vintage dress by Sears Loungewear and it has this long tail or tie coming down the front from one side of the collar, but there is no matching tie on the other side, and no button or buttonhole or anything that would let you connect it.
Does anyone know what would be done with this tail? Or could it maybe help in dating this piece?
Any help appreciated!!

Look closer at the opposing side and see if one side is missing a sash. Sounds like it might have been a long sash like someone could tie a big bow in – vintage lounge wear and nighties and nighties often had them and sometimes they were very long. If there’s no evidence of a matching other half of the tie on the other side then it could be just about anything.
I can’t post again so am adding to the first note :) you’re welcome and no need to feel like an airhead we almost all always overlook the obvious… it’s a human thing…

I found it… there actually is a tie on the other side but I didn’t see it because it was stuck in the sleeve… I was too caught up in trying different things with the one sash to figure out what it was…
Thank you… :) I feel like an airhead now lol…

I was thinking the one tail could be used for tying your pony-tail up for bedtime…being you found 2—that would be for pigtails [coming out of the sides of your head]— a al Willie Nelson—I’ve seen pix of him in his loungwear with his long pony tails tied up with these tails or tie-things….But, getting back to dating your loungwear—I don’t see how its’ tail could help you date it!? And, why would you want to??? I must be getting old…you kids are up to some wild stuff these days…

Now I’m going to tell you about my dating site, which I really like! We make the registration process an integral part of every review we conduct. OkCupid members are expected to take a personality test and provide personal [URL removed] information. Whether users are signing up for an app or a desktop site, they will need to allocate about 10 minutes of their time to the registration process.

I think that it is rather easy to chat with interesting people. I am currently using [URL removed] where I like to chat with them. There you can meet interesting people to chat with, maybe somebody of them will be your love in the future. It is not so hard as it seems :)

As I know When choosing an online interlocutor, people often pay attention to the completion of the questionnaire. It is the same with online [URL removed] if the profile is partially filled or completely empty, the chances of going to online dating are much lower.

Hi, Love can go on for quite a long time, but a lot of mature people find themselves looking for a new partner. If you’re having similar issues, I recommend visiting [URL removed] Dating online is pretty sweet, as it can get you a girlfriend quite easily, so I would be eager to jump in if I were you.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
