Each of the items on the list becomes a new word when you remove its first letter.

GOWN -> OWN
SUNDRESS -> UNDRESS
PANTS -> ANTS
CLOGS -> LOGS
FROCK -> ROCK
BLOUSE -> LOUSE

  1. I got it! Shoes, smock, coat, and slacks could also be on this ladies shopping list.

  3. I thought it was going to be that the lady was blind, because there were no “I”s.

  4. I found the correct answer, but figured there was some other “real” answer. I came to the comments intending to make a “Hey, guess what else!” post.

    Further Items:
    Gloves, Shades, Sash, Braces (aka suspenders)

  5. Holy crap! I got it. I too figured that I had just noticed some additional freaky thing about the words. Whaddya know ’bout that?

  6. With the items stacked in that order, the shape of the list is suggestive of a female form, sort of… headless…legless…nevermind.
