Reluctantly, you turn to examine the dresses and gowns - if the poltergeist is assuming you to be a girl, then it would probably take it amiss if you came out in boys' clothing.

Nothing really jumps out at you, though. Most of them look too complicated to be able to put on without assistance, and no few of them would require - at the minimum - a tightly laced corset as a foundation garment, something that would never work for your male figure, even if you aren't the bulky football star that your friend Joshua is.

Given that there isn't that much to really choose from, you've narrowed your few options down to two - things that you could probably manage to actually fit on your frame even if you may look a bit ridiculous in them... The first being a rather anachronistic silk gown, a china dress Qipao, they're called, right?, which would probably be rather sexy on the right person -- which isn't you. The second is a loose, almost shapeless cotton nightgown, nothing to commend it one way or another, except that it would be simplicity itself to slip into it.
