When I think about my beloved abuela, two things come to mind: obsessive-compulsive cleaning and an array of batas de casa. A bata de casa, referred to as a bata for short, loosely translates in English to house dress; it’s a multipurpose garment that gives the wearer full range of motion while doing all of the popular abuela activities like cleaning three times a day, babysitting her kid’s children after she said she wouldn’t, cooking, and playing El Gran Combo’s greatest hits on an endless rotation. The bata isn’t just a garment—it’s a way of life.\n
. This new dress, which is the exact same as the old dress which is a copy of an even older dress, is slightly different from the Nhe Nap Dress was inherently bedroom born as a sleepwear piece that took to the streets, The Snack Dress is comfy daywear that secretly doubles as sleepwear,” according to Refinery.
I’m sure someone in the fashion world has a great explainer on how smocking and no smocking makes the Nap and Snack Dresses two drastically different garments, but the reality is that they are both batas made prettier and more expensive so that young white women will buy them. While I’m not insinuating that my abuela in particular made batas the cool thing to wear at home, I am saying that the fashion industry should cut her a check for being the original bata model of this generation.
