Am I going to let DD look like an idiot sending her in like this tomorrow?

[Soubriquet]

It’s Christmas jumper day tomorrow and yesterday I rushed out to get something for both kids.

I managed to get a jumper for DS but nothing for dd as there was nothing in her size.

Finally found what I thought was a long sleeved dress and thought fab. She can wear that over her uniform.

Got it home...and dh pointed out it was a nightdress.

I have no one to ask and no way to buy anything else.

So my choices are:-

Send her with the nightdress jumper or send her in anything I can find in the drawers.

Which one would be better?

Can we see a picture? DS1 has a pyjama top he was thinking about wearing, it just looks like a long sleeved tee.

I think with tights and a cardigan it will look less obvious that its a night dress
(its probably not even that obvious now if you thought it was a dress)

We have to dress like elves instead - even harder!

this is it

@Soubriquet that's lovely! I think with thick tights, it'll be fine :)

I think it will pass.

I think it’s fine! Is she 11 or 5 though?

I think it's absolutely fine.

@BiscuitDrama

I think it’s fine! Is she 11 or 5 though?

Yes... I assume she's not at secondary 😂

How old is she (just trying to gauge the response from classmates)?

But I think that should be fine.

She’s 7

Its fine. Style it as a dress and no one will be any the wiser.

That will be OK, OP.

At DC's school some kids came with their Christmas onesies last year and everybody thought it was a lovely bit of fun. Your DD will be fine.

Thank god. I was dreading it but you’ve reassured me

It doesn't look overly nightdress to me, I would pop some tights/leggings on instead of the socks though...

its ok, looks like what everyone is wearing at work.

It looks fine to me. You’ve also just reminded me it’s Christmas jumper day tomorrow, I need to get to the shops

Completely fine. How short is it? Cold it be tucked in to a skirt, so it's a christmas t-shirt? I really don't think that looks too much like nightwear though.

I love it! It's brill and if she's happy with it it's a done deal. And also love that it comes with co-ordinating socks!
I'm sure she'll have a great day!

Yes agree, if she wears it as a dress, with tights then it'll pass as a dress!

I think that and a nice thick warm pair of tights and boots will be champion.

Thanks all! And it’s not that short which is why I thought it was a dress.

Very cute!

I’ve done exactly the same haha, my little girl is 6, I didn’t mention that it was a night dress and she hasn’t sussed she thinks it’s great :) x

Ha - this is hilarious, I did exactly the same with the same dress! I've been able to get a jumper delivered today though. Our Sainsburys had it next to the dresses though, not in the PJ section.

Looks like a sweatshirt dress!
