Night Gowns for Curves - The Key Styles

Beautiful Baby Dolls

This swingy nightwear is ultra-accommodating for anyone with curves.

Straight cut night gowns can be a little too restrictive for curvy girls, whereas a babydoll is designed for maximum fit and flare - a fitted bustline and flowing skirt that lightly skims over wider hips and curvy derriere.

  • The most important consideration will be the bra portion of this style and making sure that it fits a larger bust

  • Look for styles with a simple shelf bra, that offer an easy, comfy fit with just a hint of support – for a curvy sensational look that says va va voom

Sensational Sleepshirts

For everyday comfy, cozy, curl up and watch your favorite Netflix and Game of Thrones episodes, a great sleep shirt is a go-to favorite.

With an easy, relaxed fit that’s as perfect for sleeping as it is for lounging, the oversized boxy cut of a sleepshirt makes it a popular pick for virtually every body type.

  • Look for silky smooth ultra soft microfiber or brushed stretch cotton for the most comfortable nightie experience that will have you drifting off to sweet dreams fuss-free
