Comfortable! , smooth elegant texture, perfect length. One  review said it  was too loose in the middle but actually it should not be too tight around the waist as a nightgown  since uncomfortable twisting can occur at night  if the waist is snug  ( I have tried a gown like that). The color is understated and elegant as well- yes it could be also worn as a dress but you would need a belt IF you want to acccentuate the waist. I got a grey ( pebble?) color - would look  very tastefull  as eveningwear with silver jewelry  and some harmonizing  belt, heels or boots! What a comfortable night out it would be too!.. hmm..
