Timeless simplicity and style with this
great night-time look, perfect for crisp
cottons like shirting and eyelet; semi sheers
like voile, batiste and dotted
Swiss; or lightweight flannel and cotton.
Semi-fitted Nightgown and Nightshirt
feature French darts, full-length cuffed
sleeves and a shirt-tail hem. Both styles
have a banded collar and front buttoned
placket...add the optional frill trim to the
collar, cuffs and placket for a superfeminine
look. Nightgown is floor-length;
Nightshirt finishes above the knee.
This is the perfect style for year-round
bed-time wear...depending on your
fabric choices, you’ll be cosy or cool,
but always comfortable and totally chic.
