I love this gown. It is very roomy on me and I wear a 44DDD bra, so if you are large in the back or chest, or just busty like me, it will fit. I am 5'5.5" and it comes to the top of my feet. The sleeves are 3/4 and roomy all the way from the armpit to the wrist, w very loose elastic so they do not bind in the arms or leave marks. If you are large in the upper arms it will fit. It is a good fit if you are bigger in the chest ir just don't want to feel a nightgown binding you in the chest as you sleep. The waist and hip area is even larger as it has a general A line shape, and therefore, I think this would be perfect for pregnancy for an average size woman. The fabric is white, normal white, not blue white or yellow white. The fabric is soft and flexible but has some body to it, pretty much like a good quality all cotton sheet. It is not see through. The trim appears to be good quality. I sew so can recognize good seams, and this has them, along with other features that indicate quality construction that won't come apart. I am very happy with this nightgown.
UPDATE:
I have now washed it. Hot water and regular cotton dryer setting. Laundry soap and a cup of baking soda. No fabric softener or dryer sheets.
The sleeves still come below my wrist bones and are at the base of my thumb. The body of the gown is still plenty large and will still accommodate someone larger than me (47 chest, mostly due to bust but would work for someone with same or larger chest size due to larger back etc). The chest did not shrink or if it did, not enough to notice. There is that pretty ribbon which you can loosen or tighten, to make the neck more rounded and that also snugs up the neck so it doesn't gape, and that was not affected by the wash, ie it still works. The gown length now comes to just barely the top of my ankle bone instead of grazing the top of my foot. I like this much better as it's less of a tripping hazard, so I'd say it shrank 1.5 but less than 2.0 inches. If you are petite, this will make it a better length. If you are tall, it will still be long enough.
The fabric has taken on the appearance of a freshly washed and dried all cotton bedsheet. That means it needs ironed if you want it to be completely smooth. The trim still looks flat ie it did not curl up so that it looks terrible. It is not a balled up mess of wrinkles, just those gentle ones that good cotton takes on after the dryer. I'm fine with the appearance now and actually prefer it this way, so from my point of view it doesn't need ironed. The fabric now softer. The color is still normal white. I should add that it had a tiny bit of spilled coffee and some coconut oil on it, and I applied some spray and wash and baking soda to the stain and it was gone after washing. Because this is white cotton it will take dye very nicely so do wash it with previously washed pastels or white.

Beautiful, quality night gown!
This is an absolutely gorgeous, quality nightgown!The material is soft, comfortable, and I find that I can wear it in both winter and summer (keep in mind though, I live in Florida where winters aren’t usually harsh.)The size does run on the larger side. For reference, I am 5’8 tall, 156lbs and wear a D cup (40” bust.) I bought a medium when I usually wear large or x-large depending on the brand. The medium fits well but with room to spare. If I ordered another one, I’d probably order a small, which is usually unfathomable for a woman of my size and height. But yeah this brand runs bigger than average which I’m happy with because I like my clothes more on the loose side.The sleeves are extremely comfortable which isn’t always the case with elastic, but these are very roomy and I don’t notice the elastic at all.The hem has a beautiful double layer at the bottom as shown in one of the photos. I feel like a princess wearing this or like Elizabeth Swann out of the Victorian era, lol.I should note that it is, in fact, just slightly transparent. I wear a pair of light shorts underneath, but as you can see in the photos, a dark bed-time bra will be seen through the material. It’d be hard to really see through these but it was uncomfortable enough for me to wanna wear shorts and a light top underneath.All in all though, I am EXTREMELY happy with this beautiful gown! It’s everything I hoped it would be!
