Nightwear/House dress?

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

Nightwear/House dress?

Post by Uncle Al »

I found this on Amazon, fell in love with it, and HAD to share this info :D

Ekouaer Women's Full Length Short Sleeve Nightgown/Lounger

This style has a nice soft-V neckline, good sized pockets and great length for cooler weather :D
The soft material is not easily see-through. I purchased a few of these and am quite happy with them :D

Ekouaer 3 Pack Long Nightgowns for Women Full Length Short Sleeve Nightshirt Soft Plus Size Sleepwear Casual Loungwear

The 3-Pack are slightly shorter than the original item but still great for cooler weather and lounging around the house. :D
Update: The 3-pack does not have pockets :(

those types work fine. I could call the ones on the bottom a nightshirt and nobody would know otherwise.

I have three or four nightdresses very similar in style that have lasted years, it looks like they have changed from supima cotton to standard cotton recently though:Image

I don't see anything on this page so far that I wouldn't wear out.

I love wearing nightshirts. These are nice but if one wants to allow your energy to flow then you have to choose fabrics that are natural and not man-made. Linen and wool are my top choices for higher vibrational frequencies that can help with healing the body.

I bought this as a nightgown, but now I think maybe it would be fine to wear out and about with as a dress. What do folks here think?

Trying to classify the style...I think these are a minor variation of a T-shirt style shirt dress.

It does sort of look like it! :D Actually, these tube socks have tread on both the top and bottom for some reason.

I also have four knee length short or no sleeve ones from h&m or kappahl or other physical stores that no longer have pictures.

I'm not gay nor sissie. But there's something about this nightdress that I'd love go to bed in. Problem is my wife would kick me out of the bed and tell me to sleep in the guest room :lol:

A person can wear pajama pants as street wear, why not one can wear a nightgown as a dress. Our opinion doesn't matter; just what you are comfort with. You can ask all these chat apps and get different answer's. A chemise is noted that can be worn as a slip, a dress, or as a nightgown. Such clothing has its benefits such as saving money on laundry, by wearing as a dress during day and as a nightgown at night.
Some chat apps says if it is to sheer the answer is no, but consider a fact that a woman can buy and wear sheer blouses for street wear. There are sheer dresses being sold for street wear. Just layer these clothes to make your fashion style.

The youtube channel 'beepworld' has demonstrated wearing 'granny nighties' as day dresses / layered over other pieces numerous times. A long sheer robe / gown can layer over a lot of things.

Men historically used to wear long 'nightshirts'.
