The jacket is roomy, and one buttons it in front.
Pyjamas are hot on a hot night and cold on a cold night--defects which a nightshirt is free from.

I tried the pyjamas in order to be in the fashion; but I was obliged to give them up, I couldn't stand them.

There was no sufficient change from day-gear to night-gear.

I missed the refreshing and luxurious sense, induced by the night-gown, of being undressed, emancipated, set free from restraints and trammels.

In place of that, I had the worried, confined, oppressed, suffocated sense of being abed with my clothes on.
