Apparently, in the 70s "slip into something more comfortable" was to be taken literally. I'm on this. When my fiance comes home I plan on greeting him with nothing but two glasses of champagne, high heels, and a Slanket.

I actually remember wearing crochet-made outfits in the 70s :| :| :|

c'mon ladies, this ad was created in the days before everything had a porn veneer smeared over it to sell. honestly i don't believe seduction was anyplace on the agenda when this ad was run~~ it's also a single bed that looks just big enough for this woman to fit into.

@msAnthrope: a porn veneer smeared over [everything] to sell - that is a perfect (and appropriately tactile!) description of most of today's advertising, and I'll be stealing it from here on out. (But I'll be sure to say it with my Sexy Mouth, in order to be sure that people are paying any attention).

The Virgin Mary was definitely not a virgin to an afternoon of arts and crafts.

On the downside, knitwear is not very absorbent.

@mervbaby: The nuns where I used to work turned out plastic-canvas tissue box covers by the dozens. For two years, I had to shut it about how I thought they were the ugliest crafts known to crafting.

I still think plastic canvas is a sign of the Apocalypse. To go from the amazing stumpwork caskets of the seventeenth century to plastic canvas toilet roll covers is surely a sign of something amiss.

My step-mom stayed the night at my house one time and accidentally left her old woman night gown at my house.

As a joke I put it on to completely freak my husband out...He um...thought it was the hottest thing on the planet and actually likes when I wear it. So, I'm assuming he would totally be into this cape thingy.

And, just like in How I Met Your Mother, the old women night gowns are surprisingly very comfortable.

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "slip stitch." Watch out for Crochet Burn; I heard it's painful!

This ads reminds me of at least 70% of the bed and breakfasts I've ever browsed while trying to look for a romantic weekend away. Bed and breakfasts of the world, please note: I *do not* want to get it on in a bedroom that looks like it was designed for and by 70 year old grandmas.

@mauvelous: You do not have sex in a bed and breakfast! You go see the sites in the quaint towns, visit their historical downtown, eat at a local restaurant and get to the B n B before 11 pm. Lights out by mid night, quiet sleep and you leave after breakfast!

Outsiders are not to despoil quaint towns with sex!

@Acolyte: One of my friends used to hostess in a B&B in Vermont, and she said that if you were having sex in your room, everyone in the house knew. Thin walls and creaky bedsteads...!

Hey now, I seduce all of my beaus with ribbon candy and unidentifiable weird odors. And the gentleman find my crocheted caftan simply enchanting. It all results in a very sexy knitting circle.

Who needs Viagra when you have a long-sleeved nightgown, a crocheted curtain/shawl/wimple and--o hotness!--a single bed???
