I had another similar nightgown that I put a big hole - long story - so I needed to replace it. The fabric is soft and it seems well made. I have a feeling it will hold up well in the wash (I've only washed it a couple of times). The only part I don't like is the back, where the tag is. The added a piece of fabric inside which makes the neck part just slilghtly heavy. I wonder how that will feel in the summer heat.
