To think that there is NOTHING less sexy than...

[MrsSchadenfreude]

...a pale pink night shirt (eg long T shirt type thing) with a high percentage of polyester in the poly/cotton ratio, with a sad eyed puppy appliqued on the front, proclaiming "I'm Cute!"

Or a lemon yellow one, with a penguin appliqued on the front, wearing a jaunty bobble hat and scarf, proclaiming "Snow time!" with a few strategically placed snowflakes above his head.

(Just having a clear out...Christmas presents from my DM and DMIL...)

YANBU
Novelty nightwear is for the weak

"Sexy" probably wasn't what they had in mind when buying a present for their daughter/DIL LOL!

Hmm, what a good idea, might keep DH on his side of the bed so that I can get lots of lovely sleep! :o

Oh. I have just found slippers to match the yellow one.

I can see its appeal for a four year old, but I am 47 and built like a brick shithouse. I don't do cute. I can't do cute - it would look horribly wrong if I even tried.

Post them to me OP

BhS, MrsKitty.

The one from my mother is size 24. Everything she buys me is a size 24. I am not, and never have been, a size 24.

Ever been given fleece pajamas? Yes, by mil. My Mum doesn't see me as the fleece pajama wearing sort thankfully.

And a Betty Boop one.

I don't know, I quite like my black cotton pjs that say "fuck off, I'm sleeping"

Fleece PJs scream SWEATY at me, Yama.

Sounds like DH's spectacular fail one year on the nightwear front:

fleece, (yes really) pjs - bright pink bottoms and pale pink top with a cupcake appliqué and the words "Bite Me!" emblazoned under it

Not only hideous but also a fire hazard - they actually made sparks

They sound perfectly acceptable, FecalVomit.

Like sleeping in a freakin' sauna.

Sexy from the MIL is even worse, believe me

Did you get knickers with an ice cream on the front saying "Lick My Frozen Assets" to go with them, Spooktrain?

Ha ha SkivingAgain. Yes, I suppose you're right.

Opposite problem in this house: MIL once saw me in my favourite brushed-cotton men's pyjamas and remarked that I'd never turn a man on in them

Well yes they do sound awful. But not every item of clothing needs to be sexy. I sometimes go months days at a time without knowingly wearing anything sexy.

don't tempt him OP, they'd probably be in purple fleece

Oohh! and size 24!! just right for me
I'm jealous of your novelty nightie collection OP :o

I've just told DH my plan for a undisturbed sleep and he's glaring at me.

YABU!

I don't think they are meant to be sexy. And yes, it would be a bit odd for your mil to be giving you sexy nightwear for a present.

I have had fleece pyjamas as presents from both dm and dmil. And I wear them. My house is freezing so they are welcome!

But not sexy, no.
