Nightdress With Straps – Guide
Short answer: A nightdress with straps is light, airy and simple – ideal for hot sleepers and summer nights. In bamboo viscose it falls softly around the body and wicks sweat away, so you sleep dry and comfortably.
The lightest way to sleep covered
The strappy nightdress gives maximum air to your shoulders and arms and a minimum of fabric against the body – without you having to sleep in just your underwear. See the range in bamboo nightdresses for women, where you will find styles with straps in several lengths.
Nightdress or slip?
The two are similar, but a slip is cut to be worn under clothes and sits closer to the body. If you want a style that can do both, take a look at bamboo slips. For sleeping, the looser nightdress is usually the more comfortable choice.
Stay dry all night
If you sweat at night, the material makes all the difference: bamboo viscose absorbs the moisture and dries quickly. Read more in the post about sleeping better with bamboo, and find the rest of the category under bamboo nightwear for women.
Frequently asked questions
Is a nightdress with straps only for summer?
No, but it is best for hot sleepers and warm bedrooms. If you get cold easily, you can wear it under a dressing gown or choose a style with sleeves in winter.
What is the difference between a nightdress with straps and a slip?
The nightdress is looser and cut for sleeping, while the slip sits closer and is meant as a layer under your clothes. Some people do use the slip for both.
How should the straps sit?
They should rest flat on the shoulder without digging in or sliding off. Adjustable straps make it easy to find the right fit.
