Should nightgowns have sparkle?

Here at Certain Style we’ve been having a difficult day. One of the items for our new range is a simple sleep ‘bra’ and we wanted to make a short robe to go with it, but we can’t agree on the fabric. When you’ve made something very brief and lacey do you want to cover it up? If you choose something with sparkle might it look more like a costume than regular nightwear, and if so, is that necessarily bad?

It’s probably no surprise that ‘costumey clothes’ get the vote of all the men in this organisation – I personally like a bit of sparkle on most things; after all we already have a very popular organza robe with tiny embedded crystals – but we decided not to go for it. I’ll post the picture when it’s available and you tell me if you agree, there’s plenty of room for sparkle, even in an elegant bedroom.
– Update- we’ve just added the picture of the final ensemble. What do you think? Should we have gone for the sparkle?
