I absolutely LOVE these nightgowns. I have one in each color except for the new lavender one. I waited before ordering it and it was gone. Next year! This nightgown is very pretty in its design and material. It fits very comfortably. I, too was surprised by the lightweight of the flannel when I purchased my first gown, but after wearing it the first time I noticed that it is very warm and it's not bulky like other heavy weight flannels can be.
I'm ordering this gown for the fourth time. It has to be the most comfortable flannel gown anywhere. And for the quality, it is well worth the money. My first gown of this style has probably been around for close to ten years and is still going!
I love this gown! It's soft and warm and made well. I have two of them (red and cream) and ordered a large because I like my nightgowns a bit oversized. Worth every cent because this gown will last forever! Thanks, LL Bean for keeping up your tradition of quality products!
