CCDK nightdresses and what sets them apart
Short answer: CCDK has the largest group of nightwear in the shop, and the nightdress is one of the most worn models. It is recognised by a soft drape, simple cuts and a wide range of lengths, so there is a model for both warm and cold nights.
Lengths and sleeves
The range runs from short models with straps to long ones with sleeves. The choice depends on how warm you sleep and how cold the bedroom is. A short model is light and airy, while a long one keeps the legs warm under the duvet. See the range in bamboo nightdresses for women.
Drape rather than stiffness
The nightdress should move with you when you turn over. Bamboo viscose drapes softly and tangles less than a stiff cotton quality, because the fabric slides over itself instead of gathering at the waist. See the brand's whole range at CCDK.
For warm sleepers
If you sleep warm, a thin model with short sleeves or straps is the right choice. Bamboo viscose moves moisture away from the skin, so you do not wake up clammy in the middle of the night. More on this in nightwear for warm sleepers.
Straps, short or long sleeves
Straps suit those who sleep warmest, short sleeves suit most people all year, and long sleeves suit cold bedrooms. Choose by the bedroom temperature rather than by the season. See more models in bamboo sleep tops for women.
Fit
A nightdress should sit loosely over the bust and hips, so it does not pull when you lie on your side. If you are between two sizes, the larger one is often better, because a little extra width gives more freedom of movement at night.
Nightdress or sleep top
A nightdress is one piece and feels free, while a sleep top with trousers or shorts stays in place better if you move a lot in your sleep. Many have both and choose by season and mood.
For wearing at home
Many wear the nightdress at home in the morning and evening, because it is quick to put on. With a cardigan over it, it is warm enough for a quiet Sunday. See the rest of the range in nightwear.
Washing
Nightdresses are washed every second or third night. 40 degrees and air drying keep the shape and the soft drape. Avoid fabric softener and the tumble dryer, which wear the fibres. See the washing guide.
How many you need
With two or three nightdresses you can rotate them at a steady pace and always have a clean one ready. That also spreads the wear, so they keep their drape and colour longer than if you only have one.
Colours
Dark colours hide wear and fade more evenly, while light shades feel airy in summer. Wash light and dark nightdresses separately, so the colours stay clear.
Frequently asked questions
Which length should I choose?
If you sleep warm, a short model with straps or short sleeves is best. If you sleep cold or have a cool bedroom, a long model with sleeves is the right choice.
Why does bamboo tangle less around the body?
Bamboo viscose is smooth and drapes softly, so the fabric slides over itself instead of gathering at the waist when you turn over during the night.
How often should the nightdress be washed?
Most people wash it every second or third night. Wash at 40 degrees without fabric softener and air dry it, and it keeps its shape and soft drape longer.
