Shadowline Women's Petals 53 Inch Short Flutter Sleeve Long Gown

I always sleep in cotton gowns, but I'd been curious about this one for a long time and decided to give it a try. The purple one was almost half the price of the other ones, so I got that one. It's a medium purple and looks just like the picture. It's not see through.How does it fit? I got a small, which according to their size chart is an 8-10. I'm 5'6" and weigh about 155 lb. I measure 38-32-40. The small fits just right. The length hits about 3 or 4 inches above my ankles.How does it feel? The fabric reminds me of slip material. It is soft and silky. It feels very light. We're still sleeping on flannel sheets since it's chilly at night and I wondered if it would get staticky; it did not. I also wondered I'd be bothered by the embroidered petals and I haven't. They are stitched from soft, silky thread that feels the same as the gown. I can't really feel them at all when I'm wearing it.What does it look like? It looks like a gown my mom would've worn when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s lol. That said, I do like it, whether for nostalgia or just beacuse it' s a simple, pretty, and comfortable nightgown. The only thing I don't really like are the petals. I think these give it a particularly dated look. I wish it was offered in a plainer version without the petals.

Bar none the best sleeping gown I've ever purchased. It is a true sleeping gown with a longer length/hemline meant to cover a lady down to her legs and allow the freedom of movement yet keep us covered from the cold. It has been a challenge to find a gown that is this long in vibrant colors which one can wear modestly around the home. Let's face it not everyone wants to sleep in 2 piece winter pajamas or thin short gowns in the summer. Just about everything is now very short or a sort of lingerie item.

I love this nightgown. The fabric is a substantial nylon tricot knit, which is hard to find. It's advantage is that it gives when you turn in bed rather than binding like the woven nightgown fabrics usually found in stores. Unlike less expensive tricot gowns I've purchased, this fabric does not pill or show wear easily. My 2-year-old gown looks as good as the one I recently purchased. The length is generous, reaching almost to the floor on my 5'4" frame. This means that if it rides up some in bed, it still covers my knees, which tend to get cold. It is definitely a good buy, even though less expensive gowns are available.

This is a beautiful nightgown. Worth every penny. I have recently lost weight and was not sure of the size so the fact that it is a little large may be mine. It is very full and the sleeves and style on the top make it more comfortable for me because the sleeve and the style of the neckline.makes it stay on the shoulder. Also the bottom is nicely hemmed. The color is very pretty and the fabric seems sturdy and long lasting. Very comfortable to sleep in and the longer length keeps my legs warm. I do wish there were a woman's Pettit as the regular length just about touches the floor. As you get older you lose inches in you height and I have lost 4 inches. I would buy another. If the seller sees this he maybe able to direct me to a shorter one.

The nightgown fits large but it's ok. I ordered it in two different sizes thinking it might be to small or tight for my mother in law but due to the cut of this night gown it runs really large. The neckline is nice and not too low, and there is lots of fabric to be comfortable in. The only negative I can find is that the fabric feels somewhat cheap and thin. I read other customer's reviews that said it's not see through but you can definitely see through the fabric if you hold it up against the light or window. It feels a little thin and I hope it will hold up over time.

I'm so disappointed in this gown. I've worn Shadowline for years - always happy with the comfort, length, and quality of the material - but this one is going back, and now I'm afraid to buy anything by Shadowline again.First of all, inside of the neckline/bodice is SUPER itchy - the skin-side of the design and the seam. At first I thought I could put up with it, but then I noticed a blistery rash had formed! (I washed it first just like I do all new clothing - in vinegar water to set the color and then with fragrance-free, additive free, hypoallergenic detergent.)Secondly, it runs VERY large. I'm 5'8" and 165 pounds and definitely not a size "small" - but at the advice of other customers, I ordered a size small, and it's STILL too big. Who made these gowns? Polar bears?Finally, the sleeves are shorter than shown on the model. The sleeves on mine barely go past the top of my shoulders, and I have small shoulders and thin arms.Returning it and continuing my search for that perfect long nightgown.

My mom wore these gowns when I was little and I used to clutch a handful of gown in my hand and follow her around at night as she put our house to sleep, turning off lights and locking doors. I couldn't remember the brand name until I saw a picture of one on Amazon. The fit is loose and flowy, and goes all the way to my ankles. I love the colors and they feel just like I remember- also, they get softer and silkier with every wash. I am beyond happy I have found these again! Thanks, Amazon!!!

I love this nightgown. Suits me perfectly and very pretty embroidery around the neck. Not sheer at all

This nightgown is very roomy, a little too roomy, but the yoke fits nicely. I am so glad to finally find a short-sleeved, long nylon nightgown rather than nylon tricot that doesn't move with you in bed.This is absolutely the most comfortable nightgown I have ever had!

Longer then expected! Fits perfect and I absolutely love it!
