What Are Those Silky Nightgowns Called?

A nightgown goes by many names: nightdress, night dress, nightie, chemise or sleep dress. A chemise is loose and hip length, a nightshirt or sleepshirt is cut like a shirt, with a button front and a collar, and a gown falls below the knee. Satin nightshirts and the satin chemise are the shorter cuts, while a satin slip dress is the lightest of all. Whatever the name, it is the most elegant piece of satin nightwear in a drawer, and many women wear it as lingerie too.

The Best Styles

Need satin nightgown ideas? Start with the length, then pick a cut and a pattern. The best pieces pair a smooth weave with a shape that suits how you sleep.

  • Above the knee: a short satin cut, or a satin nightgown with a V neck and lace edges, easy to sleep in.
  • Long: more coverage and a classic look, from a long satin nightgown to a maxi length, and the best choice to wear under a robe.
  • Sleeves: a satin nightgown with short sleeves, a ruffled sleeve or a sleeve to the elbow for cooler nights, or a sleeveless floral satin print in a tank or cami cut for summer.
  • Details: lace trim on the satin at the neckline or hem, or a lace shorty pajama set when you want two pieces.
  • Patterns: a heart or rose pattern, or a plain color if you prefer something timeless.

Features and Benefits

What makes a good one? A smooth weave, a notch collar, a flattering neckline, and a length you like. The benefits are simple: comfortable satin nightgowns are gentle on skin and hair, stay cool through the night, and look polished enough to wear for a bridal morning or a honeymoon, which is why many brides add one to a wedding registry. Soft silky satin nightgowns and luxurious satin nightgowns feel alike on the skin, and satin nightgowns for elegant sleepwear are easy to dress up for any occasion. Satin nightgowns for bridal gifts are often chosen in champagne or pink. With light and heavier pieces, there are satin nightgowns for every season.

Silk, Satin or Cotton: Which Fabric Is Best?

Satin is a weave, not a fiber. Most pieces in this collection use premium polyester, a synthetic fiber that is smooth and easy to wash; check the fiber content and info on each product page. Content and care details are listed for every item. Real 100% mulberry silk breathes better, but it costs much more. Brushed back satin has a soft, matte inside. Cotton absorbs sweat but wrinkles and has no sheen. For most women, polyester gives a luxurious feel at a lower cost.

Are They Comfortable?

Yes. The smooth fabric glides over the skin and does not cling to sheets, and a loose fit keeps you cool at night. Adjustable straps help the neck and chest sit right; for more comfort and support, wear a bralette or bra underneath.

Price Range

On the first page, prices run from $24.90 for printed styles to $114.90 for the pink butterfly design. Most pieces sit between $25 and $60. Look for great deals on women's satin nightgowns during seasonal sales, when the reduced amount shows next to the regular one. Pieces that sell out are often restocked.

How to Care for Them

Easy care is part of the appeal. Care for satin nightgowns with these satin nightgown washing instructions: wash cold by hand or on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag, with a mild detergent, and hang to dry. Check the care label first: many polyester pieces are machine washable, while silk needs hand washing. Avoid the dryer, which can damage the sheen, and use a low iron or a steamer through a cloth. Store it on a hanger so it keeps its drape, and keep it out of direct sun if the content includes silk. Simple satin nightgown maintenance keeps the sheen for years.

How to Style It

Pair it with a matching robe or one of our pajama sets for a coordinated set, or wear it with a cardigan as loungewear around the house. A red or pink piece makes a pretty gift, and red is the color most people pick for Valentine's Day, often with red lingerie to match, or a red dress for dinner first.
