Size Chart

The best way to find your correct size is to get the size of your daywear clothing and then check it against our chart below. We make it easy by making our garments X-Small, Small, Medium, Large or X-Large. For example if you're a Size 12 then we recommend a Medium.

The greatest thing about buying sleepwear online is that you can't go wrong with sizing if you follow this chart. Papinelle sleepwear is designed with 'easy-fit' features such as elastic waistbands or adjustable straps to ensure that they fit a majority of figure types.

If you want to double-check your size take a moment to measure yourself and then use these measurements to choose the correct Papinelle size for you.

Papinelle takes great care in ensuring all sizes are to New Zealand standards and corresponding to the size chart below.

MEASURING TIPS:

Measure the fullest part of the bust and hips. Keep the tape measure firm, but not tight and measure over your undergarment.

HOW TO MEASURE:

  • Bust: Measure around the upper body, under the armpits and over the fullest part of your bust.
  • Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your waist, and bend to one side to find the natural crease of your waistline.
  • Hips: measure around the fullest / widest part of your hips.

Introducing the Kate Modal Soft Pleat Front Maxi Nightie. Featherlight softness, beautifully at ease.

There's a reason the Kate Modal keeps selling out. This best-loved nightgown is crafted from sustainably sourced Lenzing™ TENCEL™ Modal, a fabric so featherlight and breathable it feels like a second skin. Woven from renewable wood-pulp fibres, TENCEL™ Modal is as gentle on your body as it is on the planet. Better for the planet. Better for your sleep.

Why EVERYONE loves this nightgown.

  • Stay cool all night: TENCEL™ Modal breathes better than synthetic fabrics, making it the ideal choice for hot sleepers.
  • Relaxed, easy fit: Designed to skim rather than cling, the Kate's relaxed silhouette means effortless comfort for every shape.
  • Built to last: Long-lasting softness and colour retention mean this nightgown looks and feels just as good wash after wash.
  • A fit for everyone: Available from XS to 3XL, so every dreamer can find her perfect size.
  • Feels like nothing at all: Gentle front and back pleats create a beautiful drape that moves with you, while the scoop neckline and side seam pockets add everyday ease.
  • The details: Made from 92% Lenzing™ TENCEL™ Modal and 8% Elastane for the perfect balance of drape, stretch and comfort.

Our model is an AU8 and wears a small in these images.

Why choose modal?

There’s good reason why we love Tencel™ Modal, and you will, too. With its fine, long-lasting softness and featherlike touch, it also has a particularly beautiful, natural drape and boasts long-lasting colour retention. Modal is structured to regulate the absorption and release of moisture, contributing to fabric breathability that supports the body’s natural thermal regulation. Gentle on the skin, its production process is also environmentally sound. Our Tencel™ Modal fibres are primarily manufactured from renewable beech wood sourced from sustainable forests in Austria and neighbouring countries. Tencel™ Modal fibres are biodegradable, meaning they can fully revert back to nature.

    BEST NIGHTGOWN!

    I was looking for something to feel comfortable in after major surgery. I bought a Kate Modal Soft Pleat Front Maxi Nightgown and was very pleased. It’s months later, and I just bought my third. This is the softest, most flattering nightgown! It washes and dries well. The pockets are great. I’m trying to decide on which color to buy next!

    Best nightgown I’ve ever owned

    I own at least 10 of these beautiful nightgowns. They fit perfectly (they run large so don’t be afraid to size down) and feel luxurious. They was well and last years. It’s a bonus to have pockets. If I’m home, I’m in my Papinelle nightgown. Absolute comfort.
