This floral regency gown is actually a lovely, fitted, feminine nightgown.
Made from 100% cotton flannel, it's a warm, comfortable gown to sleep in. The seams are flat-felled rather than serged to help them lay flatter, important for comfort when sleeping. The fit is slightly looser than a day gown or ballgown, but still feminine and flattering. This particular gown has an elastic neckline for nursing as well as elastic on the sleeves. The cut of authentic to the era, but the elastic is not. It's not lined.
This gown can be made with buttons, as the one shown, or can have elastic at the waist. Even with buttons closing it, it can still go on over the head without unbuttoning.
The penguin nightgown below is made using the same authentic seams also

This precious little regency gown was a very last-minute dress and is an example of an extremely-rushed dress. The decision to make this gown only came the night before it was to be worn on Christmas 2010!
This dress is made from a wonderfully rustly blue taffeta lined in a chocolate brown taffeta trimed with a brown satin pleated ribbon with a narrower brown velvet ribbon in the middle. It closes in the back with blue pearly buttons. All of these items were already in my sewing stash!
It's an easy-to-clean dress any little girl would love to wear, as this charming little princess did!

from a warm, cozy cotton flannel. As it's a child's gown and children grow fast, rather than closing with buttons and being stuck at one size, elastic is used in the neck and waist to allow the gown to be worn for a lot longer than a child's dress of any sort normally could be.
