Black slip nightgown

A nightgown (also called a nightdress) is a loosely hanging item of nightwear nowadays mostly for women. Its length may vary from hip-length (babydoll) to floor-length (negligee) but is typically knee-length.

A nightgown is manufactured of e.g. cotton, silk, satin, or nylon. It may be decorated with lace appliques or embroidery at cups and hem. Optionally, panties (UK - knickers) are worn under the nightgown (nightdress).

A short nightgown is often called nightie. A slip nightgown may be used as a nightgown or as a full slip.

Worn often with a matching outer garment, a robe, sheer chiffon peignoir or dressing gown.
