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.
- All of our products are listed in US sizing. Shopping from abroad? Use the conversion chart below to find your US size equivalent:

I have been wearing this style nightgown for at least twenty years and I have 13 of the same style and size. I have received the last four and found them to be skimpier than the older ones. I am now in a nursing home and the nurses have a hard time getting them on me. I am truly sad that these don’t fit as well.

I absolutely love this nightgown! Silky and soft like sleeping in nothing, yet substantial enough to wear around other people. Will be ordering other colors and getting rid of my scratchy cotton pajamas.

They should be tagless. The tags at the neck are very itchy and uncomfortable. Tags at the side seam would work fine.

I love the Shadowline Short Flutter Sleeve Nightgown! It is the only nightgown I wear. It is pretty, flattering, comfortable, and washes up beautifully every time! I am in the process of buying one in every color!
Shirley (verified owner) –
I just bought the Petals Short Flutter Sleeve Nightgown in pink, blue, and seafoam. I love them! Would you please bring back some beautiful colors that have been discontinued: MELON, SOFT PEACH, ORCHID, PERIWINKLE, and BLACK. I would love to have these discontinued pastels, and the black with red and pink roses with green leaves. Thank You!
Reply from Shadowline® (store manager) –
Hi Shirley, we’re glad to hear how much you like this nightgown! Unfortunately the discontinued colors aren’t coming back anytime soon, but we do have two new colors planned for the Petals collection in early 2023. Stay tuned!

I am very satisfied with style and sizing of this nightgown. I think the fabric is too thin in weight, not like others previously purchased.
Reply from Shadowline® (store manager) –
Hi Norma, we’re glad you like this nightgown style! The Opacitrique® fabric is the same as always and is known for being exceptionally opaque compared to standard nylon sleepwear, however it can appear a touch sheer in lighter colors. So if you want maximum opacity, we would recommend sticking with our darker color options.

I especially love the 3/4 inch sleeves and the robes and gowns with the roses at the neck line. I am only 5’1″ and my arms and legs are short so these are my FAVORITE gowns and robes I have found!!! I have right many sets and then I buy just the gowns for the summer since I get hot flashes! I have been wearing these for a lot of years!!!! When my Mother was living these were the only ones she would wear also!!! I always would buy them for her for her Birthday, Mother’s Day and Christmas! PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THESE!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve worn this night gown for years. I can’t find it in the store anymore, but now I can order it online. I like it so much better than trico gowns, this one lasts a LONG time. And it’s so comfortable.

As always, the quality is the best. This length works for me as I am 5’3″ but stopped with my bad back. I really like the long gowns but trip over the bottom so I tried the short length. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve bought Shadowline nightgowns for many years and will continue to do so as long as they are manufactured. The fabric is silky and very durable. I’m sure I’ve laundered one gown a hundred times and there has never been a seam rip or any other damage. The neckline roses always look fresh. My gowns simply never wear out, so the only reason I buy a new one is because I want a different color.

The quality of their product lasts many, many years. I have one that I bought so long ago (and still wear) I cannot even remember what year and was delighted they still make the exact nightgown. I have purchased two ! The quality, colors, workmanship and delivery are great.

I already have several but would love to buy more of these gowns, especially the Navy, Melon, Turquoise, & Saffhire. Alas, you do not have this available in a 3X in any of your lovely colors. Also, years ago you offered a waltz length in some of the styles which was perfect. Any chance that length will return?

I’ve been wearing Shadowline for at least 25 years. I still have the first one I bought. The fabric is so durable and the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. The quality is above all others. There is simply no other that can compete.
Connie Heddleston –
My mother is in the nursing home and has every color of your gown. That is the only brand she will wear and they last so long. I do wish however that you would make one in yellow. She has one from long ago in yellow but it has been washed so many times it has begun to fade. She wears the short flutter sleeve gowns.

I didn’t think I could find this nightgown ever again. I have looked everywhere. Then I found it here. I bought this 40 years ago when I was pregnant for my last daughter. It is still in great shape and I love it. Best ever and so comfy. I just bought 2 more and am in love with them. They are the exact thing. I was amazed. I would recommend to everyone. I am now 71 and still love this nightgown. Thank you for staying in business and for the fine quality you have kept ❤️
Jeanette (store manager) –
About 25 years ago I bought four Shadowline nightgowns at a hospital gift shop. I’m still wearing them, every night, night after night, and they’re all in perfect condition except for a shoulder seam on one of them which I’m going to mend.
I just thought you might like to hear from a very satisfied customer.
Thanks for making such an excellent product.

I now have 3 of these gowns. Two of them I have had for years and believe they will last forever. The last one I ordered was for a neat new color (red), These gowns are comfortable and flattering. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a good night’s sleep.

I have five of these nightgowns. The first two I had for about 10 years, I love them, the first ones looks as good as new ones.

Love this gown. I have five. They are well made, have the first one for five years and it is as good as new.
