When a nightgown wins
- You sleep hot or live in a warm climate
- You want romantic lace details without a full matching set
- You like mid-calf coverage with a relaxed fit
- You want machine-wash cotton you can rotate every week
What to look for in a cotton nightgown
Prioritize 100% cotton, a lightweight handfeel, soft seams, and details you enjoy— such as lace trim and shell buttons. Short sleeves or sleeveless styles help on humid nights.
IZZY + TOBY (also written as IZZY TOBY) designs breathable cotton nightgowns for sleep and lounging at an accessible everyday price.
