    I did wonder if it might be a typo, but I was equally baffled as to what it could be a typo for.. I don't think there's missing text, because the sentence makes sense as a description of a dress.

    The only reference I can find for nutchins is from 1958. Actually, the sentence cited above. It appears to be a part of clothing. Could be a rare dialectical term or creative coinage.

    Interesting side story, the new Marriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary has just came out. Has over 300,000 words. The phrase of the year according to Marriam Webster: 6 7. No one knows what it means.

    As pointed out in the other thread where you brought up “6 7,” it would be more accurate to say it is intentionally without meaning or ambiguous in meaning.

    Well, you did add to that “No one knows what it means.”
