Childs traditional nighdress for Roald Dahl day

[theothersideof40]

My childs school are dressing up as Roald Dahl characters next Friday she wants to go as Sophie from the BFG, so i wanted to get her a plain cotton nightie but i cant find one that isnt expensive anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas?
Maybe not as old fashioned as in the photo,.but nothing my litte pony etc!

Cath kidston (or however you spell it?!)

DD had one from there, a pale pink and white striped cotton one.

Ok thanks

How old/tall is she? Would she fit into a ladies size 6, with some hemming? If so places like Bon Marche, Ann Harvey would be cheap...BHS too if it were still around!

I've just searched for White Company nightie on ebay and loads of floral but traditional looking ones come up for less than £10. You could always message the seller if a particular one takes your fancy and make an offer for closing the sale early and posting...

I've been looking for one of these for my DD for a haloween costume (she wants to be a Victorian ghost girl) and I can't find any cheap ones. This has actually ended up in me buying a sewing machine, something I have been thinking about doing for some time anyway, so I can make her one.

Boden (but secondhand on eBay for cheapness). We have a few of them as they go on and on and on so they're good value.

I second Powell craft. Gorgeous nighties. 100% cotton. I have got some on eBay. Beautiful when new.
