I'm going to make a nightgown, but I'm not sure what fabric would be the most comfortable to use?

Question

I was planning to make a nightgown replica to this nightgown on this website:

http://www.babyssb.co.jp/shopping/innner/084010.html

The original makers used 100% Polyester, and Chiffon on the outside. What sort of fabric should I use to make it as comfortable as possible? A flannel slip on the inside, with chiffon on the outside? Is there another type of "floaty, light" fabric that is more comfortable than Chiffon? Just in general, what should I use?

Also, if anyone could point me to a few online shops with good, and reasonably priced 100% cotton lace, that would also be much appreciated :D

Thank you!~

Answer 1

Get a 200 thread count cotton, it will make the most comfortable night gown.

Answer 2

You really want to keep t semi sheer and light and floaty...  If you can't run to something like silk habotai, try a nice quality cotton voile.  You could also try a handkerchief weight linen...

Cotton lace to die for!  But you'll need to email them for stockists: http://www.eurolaces.com/organiccottonla...

Silk!

Answer 4

You could use cotton, cotton/poly blend or polyester. If you go to Walmart's fabric section, you can get fabric as cheap as a dollar a yard.
