This is my fourth nightgown like this and they fit well, wash and dry easily and are very durable! They are warm and do not get little balls after many washings!
This is by far, my favorite flannel nightgown and I have one in every color. The flannel is soft and good quality-- the perfect weight and coverage. The high button collar style is comfortable and great for drafty, cold California fall and winter nights. I used the blue one for a recent business trip to GA and I loved how I didn't have to worry about putting on a robe to answer the door.
. . .and I have several of these nightgowns. The weight of the flannel is comfortable and fairly warm. I am 5'10". When new, the nightgowns fit perfectly and are quite comfortable with full sleeve length, shoulder width and overall length. Although I wash the nightgowns on "warm" and dry them on "delicate", after several launderings there is some shrinkage. When the gowns are new, the sleeves can be worn buttoned at the cuff. As time goes on, the cuffs must be worn unbottoned as the sleeve length has diminished. The nightgowns last well - they just seem to get shorter over time. This is true of all the various colors in this style that I've acquired over the years.
Suggestion to LLB: Make the nightgowns out of a pre-shrunk flannel. It would be better to be able to determine the final length of the sleeves and nightgown when first trying it on and for the nightgown to remain comfortable throughout the duration of its wear.
I bought this gown in pink. I loved it so much, I bought another in blue. I wanted the red dobby, but they are always out of that color. I got two sizes, one in large and one in medium. The medium is a better fit for me as the gown is roomy. I wear the large when it's super cold and want more fabric around me. I'm 5'7 and 139 pounds. The material is woven and the flannel is not overly fluffy, which I prefer. I will be buying all the colors once they stock up again. You will not be disappointed if you buy this. These are the best winter gowns out there!
