How to wash a cotton nightgown

Keep lightweight 100% cotton soft, breathable, and lace-friendly with simple laundry habits.

Quick answer: Machine wash cold, use a gentle cycle, and tumble dry low (or line dry). Protect lace trim from zippers and rough items. IZZY + TOBY cotton nightgowns are made for everyday wash-and-wear.

Basic wash steps

  1. Check the care label first
  2. Turn the nightgown inside out (helps protect lace and color)
  3. Wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar fabrics
  4. Tumble dry low—or hang dry for the softest handfeel
  5. Remove promptly to reduce wrinkles

Keeping cotton soft over time

Softness fades fastest from high heat and harsh detergent overload. A mild detergent, cold wash, and low drying heat keep lightweight cotton nightgowns comfortable for nightly rotation.

If your climate is humid, wash more often with cold water rather than using hotter cycles— fresh cotton sleeps better than heavily treated fabric.

Why easy care matters for IZZY + TOBY

Romantic sleepwear only works if you can wear it every week. That is why IZZY + TOBY designs around 100% cotton and machine-wash routines— pretty enough for lace details, practical enough for real laundry days.
