This short-sleeved nightgown from the Shadowline® Twilight collection has been thoughtfully designed to bring you the best of both worlds: elegant style, and blissful comfort. Made from our exclusive Opacitrique® fabric, you’ll love it if you want a nylon that’s more opaque than usual, with a lovely drape, substantial feel, and wonderful softness against the skin. The classic nightgown shape has been cut for a relaxed and floaty fit, and its waltz-length hem is a little longer than standard for a touch more coverage. It has short sleeves and a V-neck front, which is trimmed with European stretch lace and adorned with a satin bow.
• Below-knee length nylon nightgown with V neck and gathered bodice
• Delicate satin bow and pearl accents at the center-front
• USA-made fabric – 100% Opacitrique® Nylon Tricot
• 40″ length
Product Care: Machine wash cold with like colors. No bleach. Tumble dry low. Warm iron if needed.
This gown I purchased for my mom. She has always loved these gowns and due to her age and natural declining height, wears the short gowns. The lace is soft and not scratchy, which was a determination in buying this one.

This is my favorite nightgown. It reminds me of the silky nightgowns I had as a child. Back then and now, I love the feel of the fabric. It’s so smooth, comfortable, and cool in the summer. I’m so glad I found Shadowline! I’ll be a customer for life!

The design is very nice and comfortable for sleeping. My only complaint is that the fabric is not as silky as an older gown by Shadowline.

I bought my first nightgown at the factory outlet in Pennsylvania in the 1980s. It still looks great. I have added to my collection of gowns and robes. All lovely colours and trims. Finally gave Shadowline and Velrose day wear a try. I adore the adjust a hem stlyes. I keep all three layers of lace. You just don’t find such dainty touches these days.
Well, I’ve come full circle. I now wear these short nightgowns as slips. the wider shoulders are more comfortable. The increased coverage gives me added warmth in the winter.
Thank you so much for keeping quality and feminine style available. I hope to see more colours and more lace in future offerings.

Just received my most recent purchase, and very pleased. I’m ordering more now. Love these nightgowns.
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.
