Flannel Nightgown Fireside Red Plaid
Pickup available at High Street (Downtown Edmonton)
Usually ready in 24 hours
Red yarn-dyed cotton check, ruffled neckline, a gathered bodice that moves when you walk — the Fireside Nightgown is April Cornell doing what April Cornell does best. The red is the kind of red that belongs in front of a fireplace in December: deep, saturated, properly festive without being seasonal in the way that limits when you can wear it. The yarn-dyed construction means the colour runs through the thread itself rather than sitting on top of the fabric — it holds better, washes better, and has a richness that printed cotton doesn't match.
Ruffled neckline, chalk buttons down the bodice, gathering through the skirt that gives it that full, flowing quality a straight-cut nightgown never has. Side seam pockets. 52" long on a 5'8" model in a Small. April Cornell has been making heirloom-inspired cotton pieces since 1972 — this is their flannel nightgown at its most romantic.

Good to Know
What's the difference between yarn-dyed and printed cotton?
Yarn-dyed means the threads are coloured before the fabric is woven — so the check pattern and the red run all the way through the weave rather than sitting on the surface. It's more colour-fast, holds up better through washing, and has a depth and richness that printed plaid doesn't. It's the reason a good flannel shirt or nightgown looks better after twenty washes than a printed one does after five.
How is this different from the Saratoga Nightgown?
Different silhouette and different mood. The Saratoga is brushed cotton plaid with pintuck pleats, a ruffled collar, and an heirloom-tailored feel. The Fireside is yarn-dyed check with a gathered bodice and a fuller, more flowing silhouette — more romantic and voluminous, less structured. Both 100% cotton, both chalk buttons and pockets, both hang to dry. The red Fireside is the one for anyone who wants a nightgown with movement and presence.
Good gift?
At $145, the red yarn-dyed check and the gathered silhouette make it one of the more striking gifting pieces we carry — particularly in the lead-up to the holidays when the red reads as perfectly timed. Strong for significant birthdays, for anyone who loves cotton nightgowns, and for the person whose idea of luxury is something beautiful and well-made rather than obviously branded.
Care?
Machine wash cold separately on a gentle cycle, hang to dry. The yarn-dyed cotton holds colour well with cold washing — the gentle cycle protects the gathering and the ruffle detail over time. Worth keeping away from the dryer.
