Using a fabric tape measure, obtain body measurements as follows and compare to the size chart below.
BUST: Measure around your body at fullest part of bust, keeping tape under arms and fairly level front to back. Larger busted women will have a more accurate reading if bra is worn during measurement.
WAIST: Measure around your natural waistline holding the tape comfortably loose.
HIPS: Stand with heels together. Measure around hips at fullest part (approx. 9″ below waist).
Tips for getting the correct size are at the bottom of this page:

We have kept the original Dixie Belle panty sizing, which fits a little smaller than Shadowline panties. Once you know your Shadowline panty size (check our size chart at the top of the page if you’re unsure), you can use the comparison chart below to find your equivalent size in Dixie Belle:
Additional sizing tips:
- Bust measurements are more important for full slips, camisoles and garments with loose, flowing bottoms such as nightgowns or sleepshirts.
- Hip measurements are more important for garments with closer fitting bottoms like slips, pajamas and panties.
- If one of your measurements falls in a larger size or you prefer very loose garments, you may be more comfortable in selecting a larger size.
- Shadowline sizes garments for generous comfort. If you prefer your clothing form fitting, you may want to order a smaller size.
- Slip lengths (full and half slips) are measured from the waist down – nightgowns and sleepshirts are measured from the shoulder down.
- Bra size is NOT the same thing as bust size. Generally, you can convert by adding bra band size (i.e., 34, 36, etc.) to cup size in inches (A=1″, B=2″, C=3″, D=4″, DD=5″). For example, a 34C Bra size = 37″ Bust measurement. Measuring your body is the most accurate method for sizing.

I Love this matching robe to this nightgown. I love the fact that this robe buttons closed so you are not having to keep adjusting a tie. The lace top makes this robe extra feminine. This nightgown and robe set is the only nightgown I will wear. I now have this set in 14 different colors. I LOVE THIS SET!!!!

Hi Sandra, we’re sorry to hear you weren’t a fan of this fabric. This robe is from our Silhouette collection which is made from a lighter-weight nylon than the rest of our sleepwear, for a more delicate / floaty effect. If you’d prefer a long robe in a thicker or more opaque fabric, check out the Petals collection: https://www.shadowlinelingerie.com/collection/petals-collection

I bought the robe and nightgown as a set, both XL, and the fit is great. You gotta see yourself in this set-instant glamour! Also super comfortable and for you cat lovers out there, the cat hair slip right off this fabric.

Lovely, soft silky negligee, i bought it as part of the peignoir set. the gown didn’t work out (too snug even in a 3X) but the robe is very nice indeed. I wish you had a looser, more flowy one though.

Nice, but the fabric didn’t seem as soft as previously.
Reply from Shadowline Lingerie (store manager) –
Hi Laura, we are still using the same fabrics as always. If you are comparing it to a robe you have had for a while, note that it does get softer over time with continued washing. Thanks for being a repeat customer!

I love these nightie and gown sets. The fabric is breathable and does not make you sweaty and sticky. They are light weight and don’t get in the way when you are sleeping. They cover you up so you are presentable. They make you feel like a princess.

Simple and elegant. So much nicer than anything in stores.

I absolutely love this robe. I own four of these ivory, silver, pink and red. They are all wonderful to wear around the house. It is in the sleepwear collection but can be used for loungewear. It has three button closer at the bust, and is very transparent. You will need to wear something under this to stay modest. A soft, silky, light weight nylon. I haven’t worn this by itself but when paired with the matching nightgown 70 to 75 degrees F is comfortable. I machine wash and dry these in a pillow case and never had any issues.

Georgeous set nightgown.

Good fabric and design. Bodice is fitted on gown and robe at waist and seems to run a size or two too small if you are bigger around waist. Not ample like other gowns styles I have ordered.
