Answer:

It is X05

Step-by-step explanation:

For ignition of cloths specifically nightwear like nightgown code X05 is used which can be seen from "ICD-10-CM external cause index" provided codes on pdf file of 2019.

Also note that ignition of clothing general code is NEC X06.2 which is more generation form.
