Fabric Quality

Pros:

  • "The fabric is just right for year round sleeping and slips on and off over stiff moving shoulders and arms."
  • "The material is very nice and comfortable."
  • "The fabric is quite luxurious and not at all see-through."
  • "The fabric is extremely smooth to the touch and still very strong."
  • "The material feels like silk to me."
  • "The material of this gown is great, it is silky and comfortable!"
  • "The fabric was better than i expected."

Cons:

  • "The only knock I have is the neck line is a little tight and the material seemed a little scratchy."
  • "Thin, dull, barely there roses, compared to the bright ones in the ad."
  • "The silky went dull and feels stiff!"
  • "The fabric itself feels cheap, and the gown is sheer, so keep in mind everyone will be able to check out what your underwear looks like."
  • "Material is not a silky but kinda stiff & rough."
  • "It's made from a weird material. It says nylon, but it feels like one of those free shopping bags that you have as a backup but never use."
  • "The nylon is also not super soft, but more firm."

Design and Style

Pros:

  • "Beautiful and modest. Very pretty color. Flowers embroidered around neck make it very feminine."
  • "Love the design, comfortable fit, and quality workmanship."
  • "I love the black with the red roses too. Very pretty."
  • "This gown is absolutely beautiful!! I didn't realize it had red roses across the front neckline!!! Makes it so enchanting!!"
  • "Very pretty and so feminine."
  • "The embroidery around the neck adds so much to the gathered neckline."
  • "They are lovely, flowing, and beautifully detailed. The embroidery is gorgeous."

Cons:

  • "A little see through (like the outlines and darker parts of your body *ahem* like your chest)."
  • "Now I see that the thread in the embroidery is also coming loose."
  • "The embroidered/flowers are curling and threads coming loose."
  • "The only thing I don't really like are the petals. I think these give it a particularly dated look."
  • "This is a semi sheer nightie with embroidery that is a sad mockery of their ad."
  • "The decorative embroidering is soft, not scratchy."
  • "Pretty, fits well, looks good - but the embroidery and stitching at the neckline and upper breast area are itchy and uncomfortable."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

  • "The fit is perfect, the fabric is very nice and the workmanship is terrific!"
  • "This gown is super comfie."
  • "I like my gowns very loose so I ordered a 3x."
  • "I prefer a very loose fit for lounging and sleep."
  • "This nightgown is very comfortable and made with quality material."
  • "Very comfortable and a dream to sleep in!"
  • "The fit is loose and flowy, and goes all the way to my ankles."

Cons:

  • "It is a bit long if you are short (5’1”), but that’s a minor issue."
  • "It was a little long for me since I'm 5 ft. tall."
  • "The type of fabric is also clingy around the hip area, so it shows all bodily imperfections."
  • "When I turn over in bed, it tends to need to be straightened and pulled down, and when I draw one leg 'up' for side sleeping, it does tend to ride up and tangle."
  • "It is a more full than I would like, causes you to get twisted up in the material a bit when sleeping."
  • "I am short 4ft. 11 and it was just a tab too long but that's ok."
  • "The picture shows the gown's length at mid-calf... however, it was way too long."

Durability and Maintenance

Pros:

  • "Wash well with warm water. Can be dried in clothes dryer."
  • "I've washed it a lot as i have had it for about a month now and I wear it almost every night and it has held up really well."
  • "They wash like a dream and last for years!"
  • "These wash very, very well and can last for years."
  • "It washes beautifully and does not shrink at all after multiple washings."
  • "They launder beautifully and hold up to many washings."
  • "It has been washed many times over and still looks brand new."

Cons:

  • "The Hem did come out after a few washes. I don't like that."
  • "After several washings the hem stitching began to unravel."
  • "After 1st wash, lost 6” of thread in hem."
  • "However, somehow this item came with the hem ripping out. Big Surprise."
  • "Washed before wearing. Long thread in dryer and found the sleeve hem completely gone."
  • "But after the first wash I found a stain on the fabric that would not come out."
  • "I paid a premium price over $30 believing the good reviews. This is unwearable and going in the garbage."
