Meet OUR FAVORITE NIGHTGOWNS

100% cotton nightgowns handmade in the uk

We are so excited to be carrying my favorite nightgowns from Powell Craft, a small family-owned brand in the UK. They are making these nightgowns by hand with 100% cotton and gorgeous vintage details. 

Everyone in my life who knows what a nightgown devotee I am has convinced me to offer them to you all!  So now you too can become an honorary member of the 100%-cotton-nightgown fan club.

They’re cool and breezy enough to sleep in, comfortable enough to spend an entire slow morning wearing, and pretty enough that if you suddenly have to leave the house, you can throw on a belt, boots or some jewelry and pretend the whole thing was intentional.

I’ve personally worn Powell Craft nightgowns since 2020, and the ones I bought then are still going strong. Powell Craft is a small British family business established in 1962. The company has remained in the Powell family, and their beautiful cotton nightwear has become one of the things they’re known for.

A note on pricing

You may notice that our pricing is a wee bit higher than the price listed directly through Powell Craft. There’s a reason for that, and we’d rather just tell you.

Importing them into the United States comes with duties and tariffs. In fact, Powell Craft currently advises U.S. customers ordering directly that an additional tariff charge of approximately 20% will be collected after delivery. Because we order wholesale, we receive a break that helps us absorb some of those costs.

We’ve also spent a ridiculous amount of time photographing, measuring and putting together detailed sizing information so you can feel much more confident choosing your gown.

Each purchase supports two small family businesses at once, while helping us keep beautiful, thoughtfully made pieces like these in our little corner of Tennessee.

Questions about our nightgowns

How do I know which one will fit me?

Our nightgowns are free size, cut loose and easy like old-fashioned nightdresses. Every listing shows the pit-to-pit width (or bust panel on Betty), the length, and the largest US and UK size it fits. Measurements are taken laid flat, so the easiest way to check is to lay a favorite gown of yours on the bed and compare. Jodie is the roomiest and fits up to a US 16 (UK 20), while Pearl and Margo are cut closer, up to a US 10 (UK 14). Tori is wearing them in the photos, and her measurements are on each listing too.

What does made to order mean?

Your nightgown is made after you order it, so it takes a little longer to reach you than our apothecary goods. We'll email you tracking as soon as it's on its way.

Will it ship with the rest of my order?

It may not. Because nightgowns are made to order, they can ship separately from anything else in your cart.

Can I return or exchange it if it doesn't fit?

All nightgown sales are final, so please check the measurements before ordering. If yours arrives damaged or we've made a mistake, email us a photo within 14 days of delivery and we'll make it right.

How do I care for it?

Machine wash cool (30°C/86°F) and skip bleach and harsh detergents. Check the garment tag for any specific care. The cotton softens nicely over time.

Pre-Order FAQs

Can I add other items to my pre-order?

Yes, you can shop the rest of the store in the same cart. Pre-order items ship on their own timeline, so they may arrive separately from anything else in your order.

Can I ship a pre-order to someone else?

Yes. Enter the recipient's address at checkout. Advent calendars and nightgowns both make wonderful gifts, and package protection is a good idea for any package that will be sitting on someone else's porch.

Are pre-order items final sale?

Yes. Advent calendars and nightgowns are final sale, so please double check your selections, sizing, and shipping address before you check out.

When do orders ship?

We don't ship daily. Standard orders ship within two weeks of purchase (typically sooner). Advent calendars ship around November 27, and nightgowns ship once they're made.

How will I know my order has shipped?

You'll receive an email with tracking information once your order is scanned at the post office.

Why did my order arrive in more than one package?

Advent calendars ship in their own protective box, and nightgowns are made to order, so pre-order items can ship separately from the rest of your order. Each package gets its own tracking email.

Who delivers my order?

USPS. Once a package leaves our hands, it's in their care.

What is Guide Package Protection?

Guide is an optional package protection service you can add at checkout, typically for under $2. If your package is lost, stolen, or damaged, Guide guarantees a full refund or replacement. Guide honors every legitimate claim, and the claims process is simple.

Why should I add package protection to a holiday order?

The holidays are the busiest stretch of the year for USPS, and more packages mean more chances for one to go missing or arrive banged up. Advent calendars are a limited seasonal item and nightgowns are made to order just for you, and both are final sale, so there isn't a quick way to swap in another if something goes wrong. For typically under $2, Guide covers your order so a problem in transit doesn't become a problem at Christmas. It's also a smart add when you're sending a gift to someone else.

How do I file a package protection claim?

Go to cedarhillhomesteadtn.com/claim and enter your order information.

What if I don't add package protection?

USPS Priority Mail includes only $50 of insurance coverage. In that case you can file a claim directly with USPS at usps.com/help/claims using your tracking number. USPS requires photos of both the damaged packaging and the shipping label to process a claim. We aren't able to cover lost, stolen, delayed, or damaged packages that weren't protected.

Do you accept returns?

We do not accept returns or issue refunds unless an item is defective or an error was made on our part. Advent calendars and nightgowns are final sale.

What if my order arrives damaged or wrong?

Email us at info@cedarhillhomesteadtn.com within 14 days of delivery. Include your order number and a clear photo of the issue and we'll chat about next steps.

What if my package is lost or stolen?

If you added Guide Package Protection, file a claim at cedarhillhomesteadtn.com/claim. If you didn't, see the USPS claim steps above.
