A hybrid garment designed to be comfortable enough for sleeping but structured enough for daytime wear. It typically features a heavily smocked, elasticized bodice, exaggerated puff sleeves, and a long, flowing tiered skirt. The lack of rigid closures or boning allows for ease of movement and versatile sizing.
