As long as your fabric has enough stretch it should be fine. Mood had a really interesting fleece the other day that looked like ponte on the face but had that nice soft fleece on the back of it. Something like that would be great, provided it stretches enough. Especially the leg openings, to get over feet.

Both the Sandbox and Afterschool have nice long legs.

I cut up an old skirt of mine
After drinking half a bottle of wine
I thought I’d cut straight
Oh my but wait
Should stripes go across the grain line?

New one,

My scissors are missing again!

I think a 5 with length will be just fine for a night dress.
It will have fullness though, so I not sure how it fits into safety in regard to fire hazards.

I was just about to ask if anyone was caught in this crazy upstate NY weather. Glad to hear that you’re home safe! The photos are astounding. Stay warm!
