This is our best selling gown: feminine but not fussy. People often tell us how much they like it. It's gathered in the front and back just below the yoke, making it nearly 8 feet around - even after shrinkage. Lots of room for curling up in front of the fireplace! It's made from 100% unbleached flannel, has two inseam pockets, wooden buttons and is generously long. People often wear a size smaller than they expect.
The garment is entirely cut and sewn in the comfort of Canadian homes. Check inside yours for the "Sewn by" tag then go to our "People Behind the Seams" page to see which talented seamstress sewed your cozy nightgown.

Sizing (after shrinking)
Determining what size will fit is harder to do when shopping on-line than in person. To make it easier please see the charts below. If you are familiar with our garments the "Dress Size" chart may be all you require. Please see the additional charts and photos below should you need more detailed information.

Please know that measurements can vary from garment to garment. This happens for a variety of reasons such as different sewers, different shrinkage etc. Our example below should provide a good approximation for your garment.
Instead of measuring yourself, it is easier to compare these measurements to a gown you find comfy. Lay your gown flat as shown in the example. The flat measurements of openings and circumferences will be one half ( because you are measuring flat, not round) the values shown in our chart. The arm opening is measured along the curve of the seam. The neck is measured around the neck opening. The bicep opening is measured 5 cm (2") from the under arm seam.
