Once, on an AA 77W in F from LAX to LHR, I changed into PJs during boarding, hung my clothes in the closet, and was checking the movie list when we were informed there was a problem with the plane and we had to deplane. I grabbed my clothes on their hanger and my suitcase, and stood in the gate area with everyone else, in PJs, with my clothes hanger on my suitcase handle. A few FAs and GAs told me I looked cute and cozy. Luckily, we were able to get back on after an hour or so.
