100% Mulberry Silk French Doll Dress Nightgown for Women - Loose-Fit Sleep Dress

A gathered yoke and a loose body - the silk nightgown that feels like a dress.

A women's mulberry silk nightgown in a loose, French doll-dress cut. Gathered details at the yoke open into a relaxed body with three-quarter sleeves and elasticated cuffs, and the silk falls in a soft drape to a short-midi length. It is as comfortable as a nightgown and as presentable as a summer dress.

Frequently asked questions

Is it oversized?
Yes - this is a deliberately loose cut. If you want a closer fit, choose the smaller of your two weight ranges.

What momme is it?
The manufacturer does not state a momme grade, so we list the measured weight (about 164-171 g) instead of guessing.

Can it be worn as a dress?
Yes. With sandals or a belt it reads as a summer dress; the loose body makes it forgiving in the heat.

How do I choose my size?
It is sized by body weight. Find your weight in the size chart image and choose that row; between two rows, size up for an even looser fit.

How should I wash it?
Hand wash cold with a gentle detergent, or dry clean. Do not bleach or wring, and dry flat in the shade.

Does new silk have a smell?
New silk can carry a faint natural fibre smell from the finishing process, which is most noticeable the first time you open the bag. It disappears quickly: air the set for a few hours, or hand wash it cold before the first wear.

Will the silk snag or pill?
Silk does not pill the way wool or cotton blends do, but it is a fine fibre - rings, Velcro, zips and pet claws can pull a thread. Wash it in a mesh bag, keep it away from hooks, and steam lightly to smooth small creases.

Will the colour run or fade?
Deep shades such as wine red, navy and emerald can release a little excess dye in the first cold wash. Wash deep colours separately for the first two washes, use cold water, dry in the shade, and never bleach or soak.

Is real mulberry silk worth the price?
Mulberry silk costs more than polyester satin because it is a natural protein fibre: it breathes, feels cool in summer and warm as a base layer in winter, and with cold-water care it keeps its hand for years - most silk owners judge it by cost per wear, not cost per wash. We buy directly from the mill and sell at our own price instead of a designer markup.

What happens if it gets water marks or stains?
Silk can show light water spots while it is damp. They usually disappear once the fabric dries completely; a gentle steam removes the rest. For stains, blot - never rub - with cold water and a drop of mild detergent, rinse, and dry flat in the shade. Do not bleach, soak or use enzyme cleaners.
