We thought we'd nailed it with our classic nightshirts, but when we started getting letters from customers begging for a floor length night shirt, we knew it was time to take action. The Full Length Sleep Shirt was an instant hit, for our cold weather customers wanting to cover up in winter with a long sleep dress, and our sun loving customers needing a kaftan-style piece with coverage to wear poolside. This linen is a medium weight, it isn't too heavy but it does feel a bit crispy at first. Once you've washed it a few times you'll find the fabric softens and feels great.

We know that a picture doesn’t tell the story of a fabric, so we have created this guide to give you more detailed information about our fabrics.
We describe our fabrics with three criteria:
- Weight: This is based on the weight of the fabric in grams per metre
- Opacity: The opacity determines how sheer the fabric is
- Feel: This helps you to understand how the fabric feels when you touch it or hold it. Fabrics can have more than one description of how it feels.
Each product description on our website includes some details about the fabric, in the bullet points. Use the descriptions below to understand what those details mean.
THE WEIGHT
Medium: Our medium weight fabrics are substantial and weighty. Imagine a button-down shirt made with heavy cotton shirting, or the material from a lightweight pair of cotton trousers. We don’t like to use the word heavy, as our medium weight fabrics are way lighter than denim or coat fabrics, but these are our heaviest fabrics. Medium weight fabrics are 130 - 170 g/sqm. Our Short Sleep Shirt in Blue Oxford Stripe and our Lounge Pant in Pink Carnaby Plaid are items made from a medium weight fabric.
Medium Light: Our medium light fabrics are slightly weighty but not as substantial as the medium weight materials. Imagine a light tablecloth or a good quality flat sheet for your bed. Medium light weight fabrics are 115 - 130 g/sqm. Our Full Length Sleep Shirt in White Seersucker and our Ankle Length Sleep Shirt in Navy & Pink Check are items made from a medium light weight fabrics.
Light: Our light fabrics are just that: light. Imagine a very lightweight button down shirt or a floaty sundress. Lightweight fabrics are 100 - 115 g/sqm. Our Short Sleep Shirt in Navy Pinstripe and our Sleeveless Nightie in Blue Saturn Dot are items made from a lightweight fabrics.
Super Light: Our super light fabrics are very lightweight. Feather light, they are floaty and usually sheer. Imagine a the most delicate blouse fabric, these materials are often fine-spun, delicate, diaphanous. Super light weight fabrics are 60-100 g/sqm. Our Long Flounce Sleeve Dress in Milano Featherweight and our Short Sleep Shirt in White Swiss Dot are items made from super light fabrics.
THE OPACITY
Opaque: Our opaque cottons are not at all sheer. If you were wearing black underwear underneath a light coloured nightshirt in an opaque fabric, no one would see it at all. Perfect for wearing at breakfast when you have houseguests or you are visiting your in-laws. You can even wear this down to the hotel breakfast. Our Blue Oxford Stripe fabric falls under this category. Our Slip On Sleep Shirt in Pink Oxford Stripe and our Button Down Sleep Shirt in Grey Flannel are items made from opaque fabrics.
Semi Opaque: Our semi-opaque fabrics are slightly sheer. If you were wearing black underwear underneath a light coloured nightshirt in a semi-opaque fabric, your underwear would be slightly visible in bright light but the details would not. Depending on the colour of this fabric, you may want to put a robe over it at breakfast. Our Short Sleep Cropped Sleep Shirt in White Linen and our Long Sleep Shirt White Double Gauze are items made from semi-opaque fabrics.
Sheer: Our sheer fabrics are the most transparent ones in our collection. If you were wearing black underwear underneath a sheer fabric, your underwear would be visible. We don’t recommend this material in front of in-laws or family, unless you are wearing a robe or a cardigan over top. We definitely do not recommend wearing a sheer nightshirt down to the hotel breakfast or at the table with your in-laws, but it looks great over a swimsuit on the beach. Our Dropped Shoulder Sleep Shirt in Milano Featherweight Blend and our Short Sleep Shirt in White Swiss Dot are items made from sheer fabrics.
THE FEEL
Soft: A soft fabric will be soft to the touch but will also have a drapey hand, meaning it is not at all stiff and hangs beautifully. Our Sleeveless Nightie in White Royal Oxford and our Flared Ruffle Nightie in Textured Lilac are made from soft fabrics.
Super soft: Our softest fabrics are labelled as super soft, meaning they have a very soft hand and feel lovely. Our Short Sleep Shirt in Dove Grey Stripe and our Long Sleep Shirt in Musk Double Gauze are items made from super soft fabrics.
Brushed: Brushed fabrics are woven materials that have gone through a process where the material is brushed and therefore softened on one (or both) sides. Very soft and usually a bit fluffy, like a classic flannel. These fabrics are usually warm. Our Short Sleeve Cropped Sleep Shirt in Pink Carnaby Plaid and our Sleeveless Nightie in Grey Flannel are items made from brushed fabrics.
Smooth: A smooth fabric will have a flat, silky surface. Smooth would be how we describe a typical man’s dress shirt fabric. Our Full Length Sleep Shirt in Grey Point Cotton is made from a smooth fabric.
Crisp: A crisp fabric will have a slightly crunchy feel when you scrunch it in your hands. It holds its shape well. Most of our crisp fabrics don’t stay crisp for long, they almost all soften after a few weeks of wash and wear. Our Flared Sleep Shirt in Blue Oxford Stripe and our Pocket Nightie in Blue Saturn Dot are items made from crisp fabrics.
Loose weave: A loose weave fabric has space between the yarns, which gives the impression of lightness. Loose weave fabrics are usually linens or gauzy cottons. Our Short Sleep Shirt in White Double Gauze and our Sleeveless Nightie in Navy & Pink Check are items made from loose weave fabrics
Textured: A textured fabric has a texture in the weave or is woven from a textured yarn. This could be a seersucker or a raised stripe; expect texture when you run your hand across the material. Our Short Sleep Shirt in White Seersucker and our Flared Nightie in Black Linen are items made from textured fabrics.
Handknit Alpaca Blanket Charcoal
Regular price $650.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Into The Bedroom and The Sleep Shirt are pleased to announce the launch of a collection of handknit Peruvian alpaca blankets. These blankets are for the home or outdoor space, and will provide a luxurious layer of warmth and comfort. In winter, curl up on your sofa wrapped in one of these beautiful blankets. In warmer weather, we suggest following Scandinavian tradition and draping a blanket on each of the outdoor chairs of your home. When the sun sets and the temperatures cool, blankets allow you to enjoy the long summer days for a few more hours.
- These blankets are made in collaboration with Christine Dubin of Miou Kids, a designer childrenswear brand specializing in alpaca knitwear. After falling in love with the baby blankets for her own children, The Sleep Shirt founder Alexandra decided to work with Christine to create a range of blankets for the home.
- Our alpaca blankets are handmade by artisans in rural Peru, where knitting is a centuries-old tradition handed down from one generation to the next. Their ancestral knowledge is demonstrated in the amazing quality of their work.
- The blankets are made from baby alpaca wool, which is considered very “green” because of the alpacas’ low-impact grazing habits and the dyes are certified eco-friendly.
- It is as soft and luxurious as cashmere, stronger than mohair, and warmer and softer than sheep wool. Alpaca wool is an excellent insulator and is extremely durable.
- Because it doesn’t contain lanolin, alpaca wool is hypoallergenic and doesn’t irritate the skin.
Details
- This blanket is a charcoal grey colour.
- Measurements: Approximately 70" by 100" (178cm by 254cm)
- Content: 100% Baby Alpaca Wool
- Handknit in Peru
- Washing: Handwash in cold water and dry flat
- Brand: Miou Alpaca
- Please note that the full size image of this item does not show the edges
Shipping Information
- Please note that our blankets will take 2-4 days longer than our usual time frames for shipping.
- We do not do returns on quilts and blankets. Items in the blanket shop can only be exchanged for another item in the same range, meaning an alpaca blanket can only be exchanged for another alpaca blanket, and a quilt can only be exchanged for another quilt.
- Return shipping will be at the customer's expense.

Amish Patchwork Duotone Throw Quilt Black/Unbleached
Regular price $1,150.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Into The Bedroom and The Sleep Shirt are pleased to announce the launch of a collection of handmade, one-of-a-kind Amish quilts. We are working with the women of an Old Order community in rural Pennsylvania to create an exclusive collection of quilts made with classic Amish patterns made in a modern colour palette.
- The construction process is done without the use of any modern machinery and while the collection features traditional techniques, we are offering our quilts with 100% cotton batting, as opposed to polyester which is used in most quilts. This means our quilts will be slightly heavier than normal, and will be made completely from natural materials.
- Each quilt is hand quilted by one woman. The uniformity and consistency of one artist’s hand quilting gives each quilt its own unique resonance. As for fabrics, only quilt grade dye fast cottons are used. A hand quilted Amish quilt can take 3 to 4 months (500 to 700 hours) to complete. Each quilt is unique in this world.
- This quilt is a traditional Amish patchwork pattern in a modern colour palette of black and unbleached cotton. The quilt is a typical throw size, and can be used on furniture or on the foot of a bed. The Sleep Shirt is the first company to offer throw size Amish quilts. This smaller size works as an accent in bedrooms, partners well with a duvet, or can be used in living spaces both on furniture or on the wall.
- For use in a bedroom, living space, as a wall hanging, gift, or an heirloom to pass down from one generation to the next, this quilt will bring value to the life of its owner.

We know that a picture doesn’t tell the story of a fabric, so we have created this guide to give you more detailed information about our fabrics.
We describe our fabrics with three criteria:
- Weight: This is based on the weight of the fabric in grams per metre
- Opacity: The opacity determines how sheer the fabric is
- Feel: This helps you to understand how the fabric feels when you touch it or hold it. Fabrics can have more than one description of how it feels.
Each product description on our website includes some details about the fabric, in the bullet points. Use the descriptions below to understand what those details mean.
THE WEIGHT
Medium: Our medium weight fabrics are substantial and weighty. Imagine a button-down shirt made with heavy cotton shirting, or the material from a lightweight pair of cotton trousers. We don’t like to use the word heavy, as our medium weight fabrics are way lighter than denim or coat fabrics, but these are our heaviest fabrics. Medium weight fabrics are 130 - 170 g/sqm. Our Short Sleep Shirt in Blue Oxford Stripe and our Lounge Pant in Pink Carnaby Plaid are items made from a medium weight fabric.
Medium Light: Our medium light fabrics are slightly weighty but not as substantial as the medium weight materials. Imagine a light tablecloth or a good quality flat sheet for your bed. Medium light weight fabrics are 115 - 130 g/sqm. Our Full Length Sleep Shirt in White Seersucker and our Ankle Length Sleep Shirt in Navy & Pink Check are items made from a medium light weight fabrics.
Light: Our light fabrics are just that: light. Imagine a very lightweight button down shirt or a floaty sundress. Lightweight fabrics are 100 - 115 g/sqm. Our Short Sleep Shirt in Navy Pinstripe and our Sleeveless Nightie in Blue Saturn Dot are items made from a lightweight fabrics.
Super Light: Our super light fabrics are very lightweight. Feather light, they are floaty and usually sheer. Imagine a the most delicate blouse fabric, these materials are often fine-spun, delicate, diaphanous. Super light weight fabrics are 60-100 g/sqm. Our Long Flounce Sleeve Dress in Milano Featherweight and our Short Sleep Shirt in White Swiss Dot are items made from super light fabrics.
THE OPACITY
Opaque: Our opaque cottons are not at all sheer. If you were wearing black underwear underneath a light coloured nightshirt in an opaque fabric, no one would see it at all. Perfect for wearing at breakfast when you have houseguests or you are visiting your in-laws. You can even wear this down to the hotel breakfast. Our Blue Oxford Stripe fabric falls under this category. Our Slip On Sleep Shirt in Pink Oxford Stripe and our Button Down Sleep Shirt in Grey Flannel are items made from opaque fabrics.
Semi Opaque: Our semi-opaque fabrics are slightly sheer. If you were wearing black underwear underneath a light coloured nightshirt in a semi-opaque fabric, your underwear would be slightly visible in bright light but the details would not. Depending on the colour of this fabric, you may want to put a robe over it at breakfast. Our Short Sleep Cropped Sleep Shirt in White Linen and our Long Sleep Shirt White Double Gauze are items made from semi-opaque fabrics.
Sheer: Our sheer fabrics are the most transparent ones in our collection. If you were wearing black underwear underneath a sheer fabric, your underwear would be visible. We don’t recommend this material in front of in-laws or family, unless you are wearing a robe or a cardigan over top. We definitely do not recommend wearing a sheer nightshirt down to the hotel breakfast or at the table with your in-laws, but it looks great over a swimsuit on the beach. Our Dropped Shoulder Sleep Shirt in Milano Featherweight Blend and our Short Sleep Shirt in White Swiss Dot are items made from sheer fabrics.
THE FEEL
Soft: A soft fabric will be soft to the touch but will also have a drapey hand, meaning it is not at all stiff and hangs beautifully. Our Sleeveless Nightie in White Royal Oxford and our Flared Ruffle Nightie in Textured Lilac are made from soft fabrics.
Super soft: Our softest fabrics are labelled as super soft, meaning they have a very soft hand and feel lovely. Our Short Sleep Shirt in Dove Grey Stripe and our Long Sleep Shirt in Musk Double Gauze are items made from super soft fabrics.
Brushed: Brushed fabrics are woven materials that have gone through a process where the material is brushed and therefore softened on one (or both) sides. Very soft and usually a bit fluffy, like a classic flannel. These fabrics are usually warm. Our Short Sleeve Cropped Sleep Shirt in Pink Carnaby Plaid and our Sleeveless Nightie in Grey Flannel are items made from brushed fabrics.
Smooth: A smooth fabric will have a flat, silky surface. Smooth would be how we describe a typical man’s dress shirt fabric. Our Full Length Sleep Shirt in Grey Point Cotton is made from a smooth fabric.
Crisp: A crisp fabric will have a slightly crunchy feel when you scrunch it in your hands. It holds its shape well. Most of our crisp fabrics don’t stay crisp for long, they almost all soften after a few weeks of wash and wear. Our Flared Sleep Shirt in Blue Oxford Stripe and our Pocket Nightie in Blue Saturn Dot are items made from crisp fabrics.
Loose weave: A loose weave fabric has space between the yarns, which gives the impression of lightness. Loose weave fabrics are usually linens or gauzy cottons. Our Short Sleep Shirt in White Double Gauze and our Sleeveless Nightie in Navy & Pink Check are items made from loose weave fabrics
Textured: A textured fabric has a texture in the weave or is woven from a textured yarn. This could be a seersucker or a raised stripe; expect texture when you run your hand across the material. Our Short Sleep Shirt in White Seersucker and our Flared Nightie in Black Linen are items made from textured fabrics.
Handknit Alpaca Blanket Indigo
Regular price $650.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Into The Bedroom and The Sleep Shirt are pleased to announce the launch of a collection of handknit Peruvian alpaca blankets. These blankets are for the home or outdoor space, and will provide a luxurious layer of warmth and comfort. In winter, curl up on your sofa wrapped in one of these beautiful blankets. In warmer weather, we suggest following Scandinavian tradition and draping a blanket on each of the outdoor chairs of your home. When the sun sets and the temperatures cool, blankets allow you to enjoy the long summer days for a few more hours.
- These blankets are made in collaboration with Christine Dubin of Miou Kids, a designer childrenswear brand specializing in alpaca knitwear. After falling in love with the baby blankets for her own children, The Sleep Shirt founder Alexandra decided to work with Christine to create a range of blankets for the home.
- Our alpaca blankets are handmade by artisans in rural Peru, where knitting is a centuries-old tradition handed down from one generation to the next. Their ancestral knowledge is demonstrated in the amazing quality of their work.
- The blankets are made from baby alpaca wool, which is considered very “green” because of the alpacas’ low-impact grazing habits and the dyes are certified eco-friendly.
- It is as soft and luxurious as cashmere, stronger than mohair, and warmer and softer than sheep wool. Alpaca wool is an excellent insulator and is extremely durable.
- Because it doesn’t contain lanolin, alpaca wool is hypoallergenic and doesn’t irritate the skin.

Amish Lone Star Blues Throw Quilt
Regular price $1,150.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Into The Bedroom and The Sleep Shirt are pleased to announce the launch of a collection of handmade, one-of-a-kind Amish quilts. We are working with the women of an Old Order community in rural Pennsylvania to create an exclusive collection of quilts made with classic Amish patterns made in a modern colour palette.
- The construction process is done without the use of any modern machinery and while the collection features traditional techniques, we are offering our quilts with 100% cotton batting, as opposed to polyester which is used in most quilts. This means our quilts will be slightly heavier than normal, and will be made completely from natural materials.
- Each quilt is hand quilted by one woman. The uniformity and consistency of one artist’s hand quilting gives each quilt its own unique resonance. As for fabrics, only quilt grade dye fast cottons are used. A hand quilted Amish quilt can take 3 to 4 months (500 to 700 hours) to complete. Each quilt is unique in this world.
- This quilt is a traditional Amish Lone Star pattern in a selection of solid and patterned blue fabrics. The quilt is a typical throw size, and can be used on furniture or on the foot of a bed. The Sleep Shirt is the first company to offer throw size Amish star quilts. This smaller size works as an accent in bedrooms, partners well with a duvet, or can be used in living spaces both on furniture or on the wall.
- For use in a bedroom, living space, as a wall hanging, gift, or an heirloom to pass down from one generation to the next, this quilt will bring value to the life of its owner.
Details
- Sizing: This Amish Lone Star quilt is approximately 56" by 48" (143cm x 123cm), to be used as a throw on furniture, on the foot of a bed, or as a decorative crib blanket
- Outer: 100% quilt grade dye fast cotton
- Batting: 100% cotton batting
- Washing: Handwash and line dry or organic dry clean.
- Washing will cause slight puckering on the quilt, but this is normal.
- Brand: Amish Quilts
- Please note that the image of the quilt in full does not show the blue trim along the edge, as it is cropped
Shipping Information
- Please note that our quilts will take 2–4 days longer than our usual time frames for shipping.
- Quilts are non refundable, but may be exchanged for another quilt in the same price range, depending on availability.
- Return shipping will be at the customer's expense.
