I have the Great Romance Dress in lavender - I wear it as a nightgown. I have this lovely dress and it's a nightgown or caftan too. It's comfy like all the April Cornell garments I have but as I don't wear dresses any more this works perfectly. In fact as a dress it would be a little too low cut for my tastes, showing a lot more than anyone wants to see! But I love it for sleeping and hanging out in front of the television.

Love everything about the dress however on me, the dress hung very low that I will need a modesty panel for the front. Perfect for a large bust (IMO) but it definitely did not look drape like the photo. I will wear at home and feel amazing - but with a slip or nighty underneath.

The dress is a lovely deep colour and the fit is roomy, perfect for hot summer days of lounging. The fabric is not quite as robust as I had hoped and is a bit of a challenge to iron if you want it to look its best.
