The Ultimate Guide to Nightwear Sizing: M to 3XL Explained

Nightwear sizing is meant to be about comfort, not vanity sizing, which is why we keep our size chart simple and consistent from M through 3XL.

What actually to measure

Two measurements matter most for a maxi nighty: bust (around the fullest part, keeping the tape level) and hip (around the widest part, usually a little below the natural waist). Length is the third, measured from shoulder to ankle if you prefer a specific hemline.

Reading between two sizes

If your bust and hip measurements fall into two different size rows, choose based on the bust for a fitted top portion, since the flared skirt of a maxi nighty accommodates hip variation far more easily than a fitted bodice does.

Stretch fabric changes the maths

Cotton-lycra and other stretch blends have some give built in - if a garment is listed with even 5 percent lycra, you can typically stay true to your usual size rather than sizing up.

When to size up

If you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit for sleep (rather than a closer, daywear-style fit), sizing up by one is a safe and common choice, especially in pure cotton which does not stretch.
