I was looking for a long nightie that was not too old fashioned & made out of a comfortable t shirt type fabric. This is great & is a nice stretchy thick t shirt material that washes well. I am 5'1" & this comes to the bottom of my ankles. It may be a bit short on a tall person. I am usually a S size but I bought the M which is a bit roomy but not super large. The only problem is that it is very plain so not very pretty. I would buy again.
