These nighties are perfect. SOFT, LOOSE-fitting, and utterly COMFORTABLE; (my husband-- who's an absolute freak when it comes to clothing material-- loves the tactile softness of this nylon).

The LENGTH comes to just below the knee, (I'm 5'3).

The PALER COLOURS are semi-sheer, (Champagne Pink & Azure Mist); the DARKER COLOURS are opaque, (Rose Dusk, Victory Violet, Dita Von Teal, Red/Holly Berry, Midnight Black). I don't know about the Blue gowns... I'm not really a 'blue' person, so have none in those colours, (Purity Blue, Dusty Blue); nor do I know about the 'Perfumed Rose' colour as far as sheerness is concerned.

The SIZING is 'One-Size Down'. I usually wear a 2x, but take these nighties in a 1x... the fit is perfect, (I'm a 46-D). If you're majorly busty, take the 1x-Plus... it will give more room in this area without the rest of the nightie feeling like a tent.

There is no binding or bunching-up when SLEEPING in them.

The DURABILITY of these nighties is fantastic; but care must be taken. As with all lingerie, (whether nighties, panties, brassiers, slips, or hosiery), you must use a MESH LAUNDRY BAG, such as the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Honey-Can-Do-LBG-01145-Lingerie-Wash-Bag-White/dp/B001F51API/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Honey-Can-Do LBG-01145 Lingerie Wash Bag, White</a>, and the DELICATE CYCLE on your washing machine. If you don't, it will be at the peril of your lingerie... having to replace every 6-months-to-a-year instead of every three-or-more-years.

These nighties have been a STAPLE in my wardrobe for I-don't-know-how-many-years now. My mother always wore Vanity Fair lingerie-- these kinds of short nightgowns included. And she was wise in the choice of this Brand... QUALITY all the way.

I have them in almost every colour. My nightly ritual is to take my bath, and put on one of these nighties no matter the weather, (I live in the mountains). The matching robe is lovely too. If it's cold, I wear a heavier robe. Alas, the material feels so good against your skin, (and they're so comfortable to 'be' in and to sleep in), that I just don't want to put on anything else for relaxing in the evening.

All-In-All, you can't go wrong with these nighties. They are FEMININE-looking and feminine-feeling... what my husband calls-- 'girly', *lol*. Yet, you're COVERED instead of being exposed all over the place. They're a dream to sleep in, and hold-up so well with proper care.

Did I say these nighties are perfect? *lol*. Well, in-a-word, they are, *s*.

p.s. When it comes to 'static'... this means there is not enough humidity in your home. I live in the mountains, and know very well about static. Had to get a humidifier for the house. In any case, I always DRY these nighties in the DRYER with a DRYER SHEET on the DELICATE CYCLE, immediately take them out when the buzzer goes off, and hang them up. The dryer sheet keeps the static at bay, and hanging them keeps them from wrinkling.
