Size guide

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.

    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.
