Hill House Home took the internet by storm with its now-legendary Nap Dress™—a garment so soft and stylish you could wear it from bed to brunch. But beyond the dreamy Instagram photos and celebrity buzz, does this brand really live up to the hype?
In this no-nonsense, hands-on review, we examine Hill House Home’s most popular offerings—especially its signature Nap Dresses—in depth to find out if the quality, comfort, and style justify the price. If you’ve been waiting to click “Add to Cart,” this is your ultimate guide.
Founded in 2016 by Nell Diamond, Hill House Home began as a luxury bedding and home goods brand with elegant designs and the highest quality. However, it wasn’t until the 2019 launch of the Nap Dress™—a hybrid nightgown and day dress—that the brand catapulted to viral success.
Today, Hill House Home offers a curated collection of clothing, accessories, bedding, bath textiles, and even baby and bridal items—all united by a feminine, timeless aesthetic with plenty of details like smocking, ruffles, and vintage-inspired prints.
Let’s talk about the cornerstone of the Hill House Home empire: the Nap Dress™.
I tried on the cotton poplin Ellie, and yes, it really is that comfortable. The smocked bodice fits snugly without being too tight, and the skirt drapes beautifully without adding bulk. It feels like you’re wearing air, but still looks elegant enough to wear.
The Nap Dress runs fairly true to size. The stretchy fabric of the top allows for some flexibility. However, if you’re between sizes, a smaller size is often safe.
The Renée dress is Hill House’s playful interpretation of a classic midi silhouette. Featuring a black floral block stripe pattern, it strikes the perfect balance between romance and elegance. Featuring a sweetheart neckline, puff sleeves, and a smocked back for added comfort, this dress flatters many body types.
Sweetheart neckline with structured bodice
Dramatic puff sleeves
Midi length with subtle A-line skirt
Concealed zipper and smocked back for stretch
100% cotton (poplin feel)
This dress has a sophisticated feel—the texture of the top adds a touch of formality, while the cotton makes it breathable and wearable. The floral striped print is unexpected and elegant without being too flashy. It’s perfect for garden parties, dates, or casually styled with sandals and a denim jacket.
If minimalism and romantic design were to enter into a love affair, the Eden Dress would be the result. This floor-length black gown is simple, understated, and subtly dramatic—ideal for formal occasions or when you want to make a subtle statement.
Square neckline
Wide straps
Flowing full-length skirt
Made from soft, fluid crepe
Invisible back zip
The Eden flatters every figure. Its simplicity is its strength—it’s the perfect canvas to spice it up with eye-catching accessories or wear it classic with sheer heels. The drape is stunning, hugging in all the right places and flowing beautifully as you walk.
Hill House adapts its cult-favorite Ellie Nap Dress for expectant mothers—and it’s every bit as dreamy as you’d hope. Crafted in soft, powder-blue tulle, this version lends the practical maternity wear an ethereal flair.
Classic Ellie silhouette with ruffled straps and smocking
Extra room in the bodice for growing bumps
Sheer tulle overlay with cotton lining
Midi length with slight flare
This dress combines comfort, stretch, and style—three things that rarely come together in maternity wear. The smocked bodice allows for body changes, and the tulle adds a touch of magic without being itchy or constricting.
Hill House Home has not abandoned its roots in interior design.
Despite their luxury quality, their bedding is competitively priced and feels like something you would find in a five-star boutique hotel.
A big selling point is that most Hill House garments (including the Nap Dresses) are machine washable—a godsend for those who hate dry cleaning. The cotton poplin is extra durable, resists shrinking and fading, and air dries beautifully.
Silk items do require a little more care, but that’s to be expected.
I wore the Ellie Nap Dress to a wedding, then took a nap in it the next day. It’s that versatile.
Finally, a dress that actually works for my postpartum body.
The smocking is magic. It makes me feel put-together even when I’m half asleep.
International shipping is possible but can be expensive depending on the destination.
The brand has taken steps towards more ethical and sustainable production. Many of its fabrics are organic or OEKO-TEX® certified, and they have publicly stated goals to improve transparency and supply chain standards. However, as of now, Hill House Home wouldn’t be classified as a full-on sustainable brand.
If you’re looking for stylish, well-made, and incredibly comfortable clothing that feels both special and practical, then Hill House Home is the right choice.
The Nap Dress isn’t just a trend—it’s a sophisticated basic that fits seamlessly into everyday life. Combined with elegant bed linens, cozy bathrobes, and chic accessories, the result is a brand that redefines luxury for today’s woman.
