Nightshirt

Nightshirt

A nightshirt is a garment intended for sleeping in. It is somewhat longer than most regular shirts, reaching down to the thighs or below the knees,[1] leaving some of the legs uncovered. It is generally loose-fitting to avoid restricting the wearer's movement while sleeping.
