pretty girls nighties - not horrendous 'character' nylon affairs.

[chevre]

any ideas, please. boden have a nice one but wildly expensize and oddly none in dd's size. sick of getting electric shocks browsing the horrors on teh high street.

there aren't any!!

I know I love cotton nighties too and have given up and splashed out on boden

white company do them too but similarly expensive

its something to do with fire regulations - nighties float around so could potentially catch fire

thats why they are all either polyster or treated cotton (boden - they smell until you wash them)

I have actually bought a pattern and am going to make some!

oooh! thats dedication to the cause! i luckily inherited a couple of nighties from a friends little girl but need to stock up as it is now nighties all the way.

i have a horrible feeling dd would be delighted with a lurid pink cinderella affair.

where do you buy your pattern's?

patterns!

fabric shop near me has a huge range

can I just say i havent actually DONE it yet

my dds are mroe than happy with vile polyesters ones if they were allowed

the other thing I have done is bought summer dresses that could be nighties and they wear those - ie bhs did some long, stripy vest type dresses last summer - 100% cotton and they make really cute nighties

dam you enid, just been on white company website and will not be satisfied until i live in a beach hut and become a willowy tall blonde with fairy children.

handy thread of links here

white co website is more -inducing than any other I can think of

thanks mrsbadger, the bonne nuit ones are v. victorian adorable!

dont worry chevre it is not all its cracked up to be

pmsl!!!!!!

thanks for the tips ladies. dd now has 2 sparkly new nighties from the white company. thought i did think they were going to run me out of the shop for not being ethereal enough.
