Nightie with short sleeves and integral bra-support - help me find my Holy Grail of Nightwear

[PacificDogwood]

Please help because I am about to give up

Here are my criteria:
Cotton (not negotiable)
Mini-shirt/knee-length
Short sleeves (at a push cap sleeves, but not straps/vest style)
Integral bra or cropped top type shelf thingie
Ideally NOT Empire-line - just makes me look pregnant.

I'm a 34G and have looked at Brastop and Bravissimo, but it's all a bit dire.

Help!!

Im watching cause I would like to see what comes up too.

I found this one but it's a bit… odd??

I bet the 'odd' one would be very flattering indeed - I know that sort og cut from 40's dresses.

shall rummage

I see what you mean about "odd". The boobs look sort of oddly shaped. I would like secret support but maybe not such a bra effect and would like a bit of cleavage on show too.

it looks better / clearer here

Ooh, look-see, old thread

Thanks, MrsLettus, you're right - much better picture, and I like the colour but is made of viscose. Hm. Which I do often find acceptable… £50. Not cheap.

The search continues….

Now I'm totally confused: the Hotmilk one I linked to in navy states 'cotton' and the red one is viscose?

Ok, the Hotmilk website says viscose for both.
This should not be this difficult

Could you wear a crop top under a normal one? I wear cotton nighties and crop tops from Sainsburys, they have cap sleeves and are knee length.

Yes, I could and I so, but I don't want to

I do, sorry, no idea where the 'so' came from.

Debenhams do some stuff with built in shelves for boobs but its viscose :(

Oh no, I've thought of another criteria: not pink/lilac/purpe

I am not helping my own cause, I am?

TBBH I've had the most success with cheap, knot fronted / cross fronted, jersey day dresses - no shelf as such but when cut and sized right the pleating gives a nice wee bit of support and a better shape than a shelf, for me. large but spaniel eared norkage here

Yes, I've thought of that too.

Apparently only pregnant/BFing women are looking for the kind of coverage I'm looking for

I like them because although im a 34E and still holding up well I prefer them to be rounded up and contained when im moving around in my lovely bed.

Right, I am back on it - anybody care to join me?

Im here
Im presently wearing a Next cotton long white nightshirt to bed and its lovely cause it is big and room but sort of cute too. Im not wearing anything under it at the moment as I get hot in bed. I am with you today on the research thing.

This is my Next night shirt

I like the style, but would need to wear a crop top underneath.
And I probably favour a stretchy jersey rather than woven nightie tbh.
Good grief: another criterion!

US site, no sleeves
Nice otherwise, mind...

There are lots out there with straps but that isn't what you want I don't think.

The Americans have all the choice… but again no shoulder coverage

There are some from QVC, 99% cotton
