Hello all,
here is a sketch, or rather two sketches of my idea how the nightie might look like:

very pretty. Having used stretch lace on nighties for two granddaughters though they complained that it was scratchy even after being washed several times. So you might want to try a small piece and see how it washes. I prefer a rounded back neck I find them farm more comfortable if the back is raised some.You can do that by doing a high rounded back alteration. I like a lettuce edge idea, It's very feminine. Juno

I would go with the rounded back neckline; the straight back will be a little weaker at the corners and more likely to roll out than the rounded back.
My only other comment is the dolman sleeve -- that has a tendency to cause the front neckline to rise up while the back neckline drops because there's no armhole balance. Worse on some people than others, but seems to occur on nearly every dolman garment.
Should be a comfortable gown!
