'''Nightclothes''' are sleepwear for the [[Historical Characters]].

Prior to the [[BeForever]] launch, they were generally seen in illustrations of the [[Central Series]], [[Short Stories]], and [[Best Friend Characters|Best Friend]] books.<ref>Kit and Molly were the exceptions as [[Kit's Striped Nightie]] was associated with her [[Kit Kittredge: An American Girl|movie]] and [[Molly's Floral Pajamas]] do not have any canonical basis to either her [[List of Molly's Books|books]] or [[Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front|movie]].</ref> When most [[Dress Like Your Doll|matching outfits for children]] were discontinued, these remained and children's sleepwear was released for all characters until the release of [[Claudie Wells]]. Select characters also have [[Robes and Slippers]] that were worn over the night clothes.

Many nightclothes for characters were long white nightgowns, occasionally with a trim; historically, most nightgowns were simply chemises or shifts worn at night, and of white fabric because like most underclothes, the color could be easily washed. World War I led to the adoption of pajama styles that could be more publicly seen if residents had to leave homes in the middle of the night due to raids.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2pzJtWN0syqvn8M55zLtpk8/world-war-onesie-how-night-time-air-raids-started-a-revolution-in-the-type-of-clothing-women-wore-to-bed 'World War Onesie' — how night-time air raids started a revolution in the type of clothing women wore to bed]; 29 May 2018 (accessed 5/23/26).</ref>

[[Kaya'aton'my|Kaya]] does not have a specific nightwear outfit; when BeForever nightwear sets were released, she received the [[Pow-Wow Dress of Today III]] to model matching nightclothes on.

Several of these sets are now [[Retirement|retired]].
