Francie's "Go Granny Go" returns in an unlikely place

Francie's 1966 nightgown, #1267 Go Granny Go was named for the chorus of the 1964 Jan & Dean song, "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena," which featured the refrain, "Go, Granny, go!"  I wonder if Jan Berry and Roger Christian, who wrote the song, ever considered suing Mattel for copyright violation?  But that's a question for another time.

The nightgown reappeared in an unlikely place decades later.  Julie Larson, the cartoonist of The Dinette Set, used a shorter version of the gown for Verla to wear to a wedding on July 24, 2013.  It still looks like a nightgown!

It's made of cotton that's supposed to look like flannel.
