Clementine Nightie White Linen The Sleep Shirt

Archive by The Sleep Shirt is a limited edition collection created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of The Sleep Shirt. Founded by Central Saint Martins alumni Alexandra Suhner Isenberg in 2012, the brand launched with a single nightshirt whose design was based on a classic 19th century men’s chemise – the most comfortable and stylish thing she had ever slept in. Classic, timeless and beautiful, the Archive Collection reflects what The Sleep Shirt represents: well-made garments that stand the test of time. Read more about the collection.

A mid-calf length nightgown that can be worn as a house dress or sleepwear, the Clementine Nightgown features delicate, 100% GOTS certified organic cotton lace made by a small family-run lacemaker in Germany. The collar and cuff details give an antique feel but the fabrics are straight from contemporary luxury suppliers. A great example of what The Sleep Shirt does best. The 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.

• A note on split sizing: we have designed these pieces to be comfortable in both sizes. There is no need to size up if you believe the smaller of the two sizes is going to be too small. For example, if you are normally a size medium but are never a size small, the size S/M is designed to fit you. As always, we recommend checking the garment’s measurements.
