for my 78 yr old mother. Mum is off to hospital in a couple of weeks and needs a couple of new nighties. She only likes the satiny ones, longish, with at least a small cap sleeve (i.e. no straps)and not too expensive. I'm trying to persuade her into brushed cotton but she's having none of it (maybe she wants to impress the surgeon). The only ones I've been able to track down so far have been red and black and wouldn't look out of place in an Ann Summers catalogue. This, I hasten to add, is not the look we are aspiring to.
