NEW NIGHT GOWNS 2010

NIGHT GOWNS FOR MEN AND WOMEN



Nightgowns, pajamas, nightshirts, and other types of night wear were

unheard of up through the Middle Ages, when people usually just

slept in the nude. The beginning of the textile industry brought long,
both men and women, were shaped in the same way as a man's

shirt, though longer, usually hanging down to the knees. In 17th

century Europe, inspired by Asian influences, a type of dressing

made of silk, and fashioned after the Japanese kimono, banyans were used

as nightgowns as well as casual lounge wear for the affluent.

Perhaps the first images

in one's mind when considering nightgownsare silky, sheer teddy

and baby doll type nightgowns and negligees, or floor length

satin peignoirs, all of which are usually associated with newlyweds,

honeymoons, and feeling sexy.



Gown And G-String




These colorful and revealing nightgown they are not normally designed

for protection or warmth, but rather, for beauty.


"Baby doll" nightgowns, chemises, and negligees are usually

sleeveless with thin straps or none at all, and the skirt part of the gown

hangs down only to about the hips. Teddies are actually not

nightgowns at all; rather, they are shaped more like aleotard or

swimsuit. Floor length peignoirs are usually made of a sheer material,

have spaghetti straps, and are close fitted. Yet each of these types

of nightgowns is often used just on special occasions. For everyday

use, it seems the most popular style of nightgown is the knee-length

variety.

Depending on the type of fabric used, nightgowns vary almost as much

as regular clothing. Cotton nightgowns are some of the most popula

winter nights. Nightgowns can also be made of silk, satin, and nylon,

to name a few. Most womenfind that they enjoy a variety of nightgowns.

Their collection might include a lace or silky nightgown for feeling sexy,

a flannel nightgown to take away the chill of winter, and a few comfortable

cotton nightgowns for simply sleeping comfortably.
