Don't Be Alarmed But I Just Found A Bunch Of Affordable Nap Dress Options
By this point in 2020, you know what the Nap Dress is. It’s a garment by Hill House Home that became very popular because very popular women wore it on Instagram during the summer that we couldn’t go anywhere but bed. It’s adorable, of course I want five of them. But here are a few potential issues with The Nap Dress:
-It’s expensive
-It’s frequently sold out
-It might not come in your size at all
I like a good house dress (that’s what I’ve always called it) as much as the next person, and indeed I see no reason to stop wearing them come fall—nap dresses can have sleeves. Also they’re just ethereal and comforting and honestly right now I could use a whole bucket of that vibe. So in the spirit of just kind of always dressing like a sweet and loving neighborhood witch who keeps chickens and grows her own lavender, below I’ve located a few nap dress - esque garments, all affordable, ranging from sizes 0-24, for us all. Go forth and float about the house, goodness knows I will.
Okay yes, they are very cute. Nap Dress hype is real, but if you don’t find it to be $125 real, this is an option that comes in around $40 and will give you prairie goddess vibes in spades. You also might not sob hysterically if you spill something on it.
A little off-shoulder action, you say? Not a problem. See what would be great would be if this one came with its own fainting couch.
Here’s one: For some reason I’m very soothed by the idea of like ten of these drying on a clothesline in the breeze. Anyone else? I feel like the second you put this on your hair braids itself into a chignon.
Oh look, sleeves! Don’t worry, my cold climate sistren, there are nap dresses for us, too! Sleeves are a glorious invention, one I’ve been simply aching to return too. Don’t you feel like when you wear this you need to tiptoe down a hallway while using a single candle to light your way?
I want to cook in this. Why do I feel like everything in my kitchen would just naturally cooperate with me in this garment? Who burns pancakes in this? Literally no one. I also really love the version of this one that comes in a light floral print.
This one’s called the Amanda, and it counts as clothes. I’m telling you, it counts as clothes.
I won’t even lie to you about how much I enjoy a square neck. I feel like if you’re like me and spent the whole of your early twenties looking for a vintage Gunne Sax dress that actually fit your ribcage and never did, this dress is our reward.
Oh don’t worry, it comes in robe format, too! This is precisely what I need for my next quarantine Jane Austen marathon. Movies, not books. I’m sorry.
This one’s called the Esther, which I think is just pretty. I mean you could wear it to Coachella, that’s how cute it is. If Coachella was still a thing that existed. Sigh. Who needs a nap?
This is my new “reading garment.” I feel like you can’t even speak while wearing this, one can only gently sigh. Please note that the largest option in this dress is an XL, which is slightly more limited in range than the rest of the dresses listed here.
I want to haunt a house in this, immediately.
