& de chemise de nuit ; chambres à coucher

While on the mention of vintage nightgowns I thought it only proper to incluez pretty nouveau nightgowns also I have several nightgowns like the one in this picture. I call them summer nightgowns. Our cold winters and my 1920 era drafty home would not allow me to wear the sleeveless gown unless I was pose on the sofa bed with piles of  édredons and blankets. Even then I'm afraid my arms would have goose bumps.
Summer time though and I take a long hot bath and glissez dans a simple cotton gown like the one above.

Do you have a collection of nightgowns or a robe de nuit such as this one?
Ayez un beau jour

  2. Jill - I can just imagine you strolling through your beautiful garden on a summer morning with your cup of breakfast tea in your sweet nightgown. What a perfect way to begin the day. :)

  3. I love simple cotton nightgowns... and wear them all year long... even though we live in an old farmhouse...here in south Texas, cold is about 40-degrees and we don't get much of that...
