Boden girls nighties - where do I find a duplicate?

My dd loves the soft, long-sleeved nighties from Boden, but she’s now too big for them. Has anyone found a source of similar nighties? We’ve tried 100% cotton and she finds them too scratchy (these are half cotton half modacryl - whatever that is).

Marks and Spencer do 1/2 cotton 1/2 modal nightdresses in their women's section - presumably small adult size would be OK? I think they call it modal blend.

Thanks Double, I’ll have a look. She’s a small 10yo, so adult sizes usually swamp her (the Boden sizes seem to stop at 9-10, presumably there isn’t demand in the larger sizes for ‘little girl’ style nighties).

Aha, not M&S, but John Lewis has the right sort of thing.

My DD loves the Boden nightdresses too. They go up to 11/12 years (she is 12 and the sizing is generous) but sell out quickly in this size.

Thanks Westwing1 - I’ll keep an eye out for the new collection and get in there quickly next time. The sizing is definitely generous, but dd likes them very long (close to ankle length, ideally) and loose.

In the meantime you could look at The White Company, they do similar styles but they are pricey, pale colours and again sell out in the 11/12 yrs size quite quickly. I am on the lookout for long soft cotton nighties for when 11/12 no longer fits. My DD puts a nightie on as soon as she comes home from school so they are very important!

Westwing I tried White Company, but they were stiff after washing as they’re 100% cotton, and it didn’t wear well (holes along along the hem and under the arms). If you do find anything that goes above 11-12 I’d love to know, as nighties are very important here, too!

eBay have some of the Boden ones in a size 11/12 if you don't mind second hand
