I really love Fisher's Finery nightgowns, and have three of them.  This particular nightgown is a relaxed fit, and  seems quite a bit larger than the other styles of nightgowns Fisher's makes.  For those with larger hips, and or really prefer a much looser fit, this is the one for you.  I would recommend sizing down one size for a better fit, though it will still have plenty of room in the hip area.  Since I had just lost weight I had to return it. Fisher's returned it promptly and courteously.  They have excellent customer service.
