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?

My initial response your OP was going to be no way but having seen it, it is fine. Just looks like a dress.

Style it out as a dress or a tunic style top and it'll be fine.

Bonus is that you'll get more wear out of it as a nightie too.

Not such a waste of money as an actual Christmas Jumper.

It doesn't look like a nightdress to me at all OP. Pair some red tights with it and you're grand.

It will look lovely with black tights! ❤️

Or red!

I think it looks great! My poor son is wearing a normal jumper with tinsel threaded through....we couldn't find anything for him in his size either!! Xx

I'd send my DD in that. It's fine.

It doesn’t look obviously nightwear at all but, given that it is from Sainsbury’s, it’s not hugely unlikely another girl in her class (or someone’s sister) has it and might point out it is a nightie. It really depends on whether she would be upset/embarrassed if someone pointed it out.

My DD has this and I definitely think with tights it will be fine.

DS will most likely be wearing his new jumper with sequin dinosaurs (kinda reversible for colour change) to nursery forever more.... He can definitely pull it off as christmas though. He can also pull off the rainbow stripes and bright yellow trouser.

Oh to be 3!

At 7, yes fine!

Looks like a casual dress it’ll be fine

Brilliant idea,

It’s perfect!

I think it looks fine just one q - does she normally wear a dress over her shirt? Because at DC school they have been at pains to highlight, repeatedly, that Christmas Jumper day is NOT a non-school-uniform day and that therefore jumpers are to be worn in place of school jumpers.

So if this was me, I'd probably just fold it under and tack it up so that it's a bit shorter and looks like a long t-shirt or sweatshirt rather than a dress. But if she can get away with not wearing a school dress, all good.

That’s fine, pair of tights and boots she will look great!

Yep it’s fine

I know it's all a bit of fun in a dismal year, but is it worth is for the stress and money this has cost many parents?

OP - doesn't look a bit like a nightie. She'll look great

It looks fab, and perfect for her age too

Tights or leggings and it's perfect. It's lovely, actually.

It's fine.

I also had a desperate time trying to find something for my 11 yo (year 7).

A million jumpers for women, quite a few for me, loads for girls, quite a few for younger boys and ONE for older boys. Thankfully he likes it.

It's absolutely fine!

Plus they're only pjs if you wear them to bed

Absolutely fine it doesn’t really look like a nightdress so you’ll get away with it!

It’s fine.
