Our newest addition to our Honeydove Capsule line is our new Mini Thermal Sleep Dress. SO exciting to welcome this piece. It has been a little while in the making. The idea started as a sleep romper and ultimately we arrived at a mini dress (the mini part just meaning an above the knee length.)
It is a knit cotton thermal that is so delicious and is considered a novelty fabric - meaning it was woven just for us by our partners in California. If you've tried regular thermal out from other brands - ours is SO much softer and light weight with a more cozy less structured feel to the fabric. I'm THRILLED with how these turned out. They are so cozy to sleep and lounge in while also an option to layer in the winter for going out!
The fabric is 100% organic thermal cotton. The creme has tiny natural specs in it (pretty and organic feel/look but very subtle!) Our colored pieces are limited and dyed with low impact and non-toxic dyes.
This is a knit cotton so when you first put it on it will be a little tight/fitted but it will stretch out to a more a line relaxed fit. I personally prefer it when it stretches out a bit and relaxes. Once you wash it, it will again shrink up a bit. However, the garment itself is pre-washed/pre-shrunk so it won't change in regards to true size or length.
You can wash this with your other clothes in no special manner - wash on cold or warm with eco-detergent and tumble dry!
Remember - the fabric stretches so if you are larger than the measurements you will be fine!! It will fit to meet your body!! I really recommend buying the size you normally go for since they are VERY true to size. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and my usual size SMALL is best for me to give you an idea of how much the hip/bust/dress can accommodate.
Small
17" PTP flaying lat
Shoulder to bottom hem 35"
Medium
18" PTP laying flat
Shoulder to bottom hem 36"
Large

Shoulder to bottom hem 36.5"
The first picture is the dress when it has relaxed a bit vs the third picture on which is straight from the dryer. I am significantly more pregnant in the third photo as well*
Customer Reviews
This mini sleep dress is truly perfection. I live in south Florida, a very hot tropical climate, and the weight of this thermal fabric works surprisingly well - I have yet to overheat. I’m 5’10”, 155lb. and the medium size fits me perfectly. This is my first Honeydove piece of clothing (I have silk pillowcases) and I will 100% be investing in more. I’ve been eyeing the cozy gym shorts for summer ;)
Perfect nightgown. So easy to nurse in and the sleeves are perfect to keep arms warm while co-sleeping and nursing, a rare combo.
I’m OBSESSED with this adorable dress/ shirt/ sleep shirt. Such a versatile and comfortable style! I’ve gotten so many compliments on this every time I’ve worn it. Highly recommend!
I have two thermal dresses, one in light blue the other in rust. I love them both so much! I wear them at home with cozy socks and it’s so easy to breast-feed my daughter. I love the long sleeves. The medium fit me well, they are a little loose, but I like it that way. (5’7, 140 pounds.) Sometimes if I’m feeling sassy, I’ll throw on some jeans and a jacket and wear it out. I’ve gotten many compliments! One of my fave HD offerings.
This sleep dress is so comfy and flattering but the only thing I’d change is that the sleeves are super long on me (by about 3-4”) and tend to get in the way. Would love a version with shorter sleeves in the future.
