Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：sleepwear retail、clothing catalogs、bedtime routines、written descriptions 该词指女性穿的睡裙，属中性偏正式；在英式英语中较常见于日常对话，美式英语中较少用，通常说 nightgown。多用于商品介绍或书面描述。
Pronunciation & Spelling
night、light 和 white 的读音都含 /aɪt/（night 和 light 拼作 -ight，white 拼作 -ite），它们与 nightdress 开头的 night 同音，但不是整词押韵。dress、address、undress 的末尾 -dress 都读 /dres/，但 nightdress 的重音在第一个音节，因此这些词与整个 nightdress 不构成完整押韵。注意 address 作名词时美式英语常读 /ˈædres/，听起来和 /əˈdres/ 不同。
