Bridgerton is back. It is time for another Regency era-inspired wardrobe update.
We would like to invite you to celebrate Dress Spring in honor of Bridgerton's second season. With rising temperatures and spring in the air, you can slip into something more stylish and weather-appropriate. The stunning nap dresses of the rom-dramedy inspire you to dress your best.
I'm not sure where to start looking for nap dresses. We have got you covered.
Sorry. Let me explain.
If you are not a fan of lifestyle social media or didn't end 2020 by watching Bridgerton, you might be wondering what the words "nap" and "dress" mean.
If you want to catch up on some sleep in your nap dress, you should go ahead and do it. The dresses are supposed to be worn at any hour. I assure you that you would recognize the garment by sight if you heard the term "nap dress".

When I think of nap dresses, which give off huge Regency-era vibes, my broken brain goes back to a scene in The Office, where the clothes at the GapKids are just too flashy. I am forced to go to American Girl store and order clothes for large colonial dolls, but others may fondly reminisce over dresses from Little Women, the beloved 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice.
Some nap dresses land above the knee. Some of them have large puffy sleeves that would make a great compliment from Napoleon Dynamite, while others fall off the shoulder. The dresses come in a variety of colors, fabrics, and styles, so finding the right nap dress is all about figuring out which one is right for you.
Nap dresses are new, but they are not new. House dresses like these have been around for a long time. I believe the recent fascination was inspired by a chaotic combination of our collective Bridgerton obsession, a chaotic combination of our social media presences, and a lifestyle brand by a woman called Hill House Home.
They created the perfect storm.
The internet went into a fashion frenzy when Hill House Home launched a nap dress collection. Fast Company reported that $1 million worth of inventory was sold within 12 minutes, and a few hours later the collection had raked in more revenue than Hill House made in 2019.

The Nap Dress is perfect for video calls because of its dressy top and bottom design. Diamond was aware that the dresses were ideal for bicyle.
Diamond told Fast Company that he designed the dress before he ever did a Zoom call. It is so comfortable that you can sleep in it, but also wear it to a meeting with your investors.
I feel that you are still not sold on wearing a dress to work from home. Nap dresses are not my style, but in the spirit of having something to look forward to, I might end up caving. Christianna Silva and I came up with several scenarios that would make me want to wear a nap dress out in the world.
If you want to have a picnic in a park, frolic barefoot through a field, hold a bouquet of flowers, or pretend you're a Disney princess, you have to go on a date. If you want to drink tea, attend a ball, ride a bike with a basket, or cosplay as a Victorian ghost, you should wear one.
The weather is getting warmer so why not dress the part now that we have had to adjust to pandemic dating?
Nap dresses are not for everyone, but they are incredibly versatile. You can dress them up or down. If you choose a floor-length one with a lot of fabric, it will complement the spring breeze.
By now, you probably have a firm stance on nap dresses, so let's get shopping. Here are six quality nap dress options for you to consider.

Hill House describes nap dresses as the perfect hybrid garment to wear all day and night, and styles range from dresses you would wear on a hot date to ones you could confidently gift your conservative great grandmother. The dresses are a bit pricey, so you might want to choose a less expensive nap dress as a starter to make sure you like it first.
