Where to find a Christmas nightie / nightgown rather than PJs?

For a few years we've done the Christmas PJs thing, but DD started wearing nighties in the spring and refuses to go back to pyjamas, even for warmth. So there seems no point in buying her pyjamas this Christmas, but I can't find any nice girls nightdresses on the same kind of theme. Lots of flannel / plaid / red and festive looking items are available a few thousand miles away - clearly DD is half North American! - but have any of you seen a 'Christmas' nightie to fit a 7-8 year old? It doesn't have to be covered in stars, trees, santas etc. I loved my thick warm winter nighties as a child, but I'm a child of the 70s and enjoyed mainly the static electricity off the nylon sheets!

I've been looking for a while and there really isn't much at all, I found this but it's too small.

So I'm no good at all...

I bought DD (in that size) a pale blue nightie with an angel on it from John Lewis sale after last Christmas which I have hidden away for this Christmas.

I have also bought her a red and gold (festive looking) Belle nightie from Mothercare if your DD is into Disney stuff. That one comes with a dolls size copy of the same nightie.

Lands End is your friend!

Flannel nighties in red check or a white snowy scene with Christmas trees. Dd won't wear pyjamas either Grin.

Boden do one with kittens in Santa hats, and baubles on, bit pricey though (the link just shows the nighties, you'll need to change the image)

DD has a nice nightie from M&S with penguins on. It comes with matching bedsocks. It is quite polyestery, though.

Lovely ideas - thank you very much! I love the Lands End ones, although slightly Hmm at the price, in case DD is not so excited. But I may give in anyway. I hadn't thought of there at all.
Laura Ashley, JL links also great. Spoilt for choice now. THANK YOU!

Oh, the M&S one is really cute as well - the socks would be great even if the nightie turns out not to be the favourite item ever. Thank again
