Nightgowns were not worn until the Middle Ages, with the textile industry bringing long, heavy nightgowns. Today, there are various types of nightgowns made of different fabrics, with knee-length ones being the most popular for everyday wear. They are designed to make women feel attractive and seductive, rather than for protection or warmth.
Nightgowns are night clothes that women usually wear. They are loose fitting and are usually made in the form of a dress or gown.
Nightgowns, pajamas, nightgowns, and other types of nightwear were unknown until the Middle Ages, when people generally slept naked. The beginning of the textile industry brought long heavy nightgowns and nightgowns. The original nightgowns, worn by both men and women, were the same shape as a man’s shirt, though longer, usually hanging to the knees. In 17th century Europe, inspired by Asian influences, a type of smock or banyan was popular with both men and women. Often made of silk, and fashioned in the manner of the Japanese kimono, banyans were worn as nightgowns and casual wear for the wealthy.
Today, there are a plethora of nightgowns of all shapes, sizes, colors, and fabrics, usually worn by women. The long garments worn by men are mostly known as nightgowns today. Perhaps the first images to mind when considering nightgowns are silky, teddy and badoll robes and robes, or floor-length satin robes, all of which are usually associated with newlyweds, honeymoons, and feeling sexy. These colorful and revealing dresses are created and worn to make a woman feel attractive and seductive; they are normally not designed for protection or warmth, but for beauty.
“Badoll” nightgowns, shirts, and robes generally have no or no spaghetti strap sleeves, and the skirt portion of the dress hangs only around the hips. The stuffed animals aren’t actually dresses at all; rather, they are in the form of a leotard or swimsuit. Floor-length peignoirs are usually made of a sheer material, have spaghetti straps, and are fitted. However, each of these types of dresses is often worn only on special occasions. For everyday wear, it seems the most popular style of nightgown is the knee-length variety.
Depending on the type of fabric used, nightgowns vary almost as much as regular clothing. Cotton versions are some of the most popular, with a wide variety of cottons, from sheer summer dresses with little sleeves or no sleeves to thick flannel button-downs with long sleeves for chilly winter nights. Nightgowns can also be made from silk, satin, and nylon, to name a few. Most women find that they enjoy a variety of nightgowns. Your collection could include a lace or silky nightgown to feel sexy, a flannel nightgown to warm off the winter chill, and cozy cotton dresses to just sleep comfortably.
