I've noticed some posts about ruining coords with peignoirs in Lolita. What advice is there for styling them, and what should be avoided?

Lurk more.

avoid wearing a peignoir that is longer than your main piece. it can be done, but usually looks off-balance and bad. I like to see ones in colors other than neutrals being incorporated into a coord.
I'd say strive to style them nicely: closed, or decoratively pinned, or with a belt, etc. I hate seeing a big, droopy peignoir just hanging open on a person like a mosquito net. make it elegant, or fairy like
One that is the same length as your skirt or a little over is fine. But don't let it take too much attention from what you're wearing. The ones that tie right above the waist are ideal
As they don't mess with the silhouette too much.
I've been eyeing this "overskirt" from Soufflesong for quite a while now. Seems like a suitable length.

Shit, dropped pic.
I feel like coords using them need to also have a generally ethereal quality. They're used to make you look kind of floaty and angelic, and there's no point in throwing a peignoir into a coord if the rest of it won't reflect that.

well, I agree, but that leaves out the other ways peignoirs can be styled. they can be slinky and sinisterly elegant, or just a generally romantic shroud of darkness for a gothic coord.
