Nap Dress

They are made by Hill House. They are a very comfortable summer dress.

They look like a christening dress for adults.

Haha! That's great!

Is this supposed to be a well-known company? Am I supposed to recognize that name?

This one could actually be cute in sorry of a mod way, with tights and heels:

But I generally don't nap in glitter!

Maybe they would be cute on an 18 year old. I feel like they would have a very sad sister wife vibe on me.

Correction - stuff trendy people like. I am black, 45yo, and about to order some STAT. I am glad fashion is finally coming back around to things that are comfortable and feminine.

Agreed.
POC here and I don't know what the PP above is talking about "shit white people like", because this fashion falls right up my alley and I'm wearing mine right now.

But keep generalizing based on race... it's such an ignorant, unattractive look on you.

Sorry I think these dresses are horrible. Ruffles and Little house on the prairie look?
A maxi length might be more tolerable.

LOL. My thoughts exactly. Oh HILL House! Oh good. I thought Whore House made these and I was avoiding. But if it's HILL House, order me up one for every day of the week!

“I might have the same energy as the type of gaunt, melancholy-stricken Victorian wife who’s hidden from guests and floats around the manor grounds wearing what I imagine is the Nap Dress, but I lack her ample free time.”

Oh. Thank you for that.

These dresses are hideous.

But good marketing and social media can make even the ugliest styles become trendy.

These will be in Goodwill bins and clogging up landfills in 6 months.

They aren’t “nap dresses”, but I bought a bunch of gauze maxi sundresses last summer since we’d be home. I’m not on camera and very comfy. If I could afford nicer ones would definitely take the plunge. Team pretty house dress
