I got this nightgown for my mom.  I asked her honest opinion about so I could give a fair review.  I got the gown in violet and when I open the package I was very pleased with the color. I was scared that it would be see-through since I was giving it to my mom (because of some of the reviews I read about lighter colors), but it wasn't at all.  It is a medium color so I guess that is why.  It is very, very soft and silky.  My mom says it is very comfortable too.  The only con she could come up with is that it could be longer. I was impressed with this nightgown so much that I think I will purchase one or two for myself.
