Not my grannie's nightdress

Please help! I suffer from incredibly itchy legs at night due to perimenopause induced eczema. I cannot tolerate pyjamas and am most comfortable in a cotton nightdress. However, I keep seeing my grandmother in the mirror when I get ready for bed! I would love to find something a bit sexier. I am short and have chubby, white, varicoidal and eczema covered legs so (not surprisingly) would like to keep them covered if possible. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

I hate pjs and also don’t want to look like a granny. I like the m and s hooded lounge nighties, not stylish but oh so comfortable! I can’t do clicky links though.

Got this from Amazon. Comes in lots of sizes and a few colours. Cotton. Has pockets Grin. Costs £18.88. Is this the sort of thing?

I'm 5 ft 4 and mine actually comes down to below my ankles

Does it have to be 100% cotton @Bilbettabloggin ?

Bonsoir of London have a few but they are maybe too traditional which I guess you are trying to avoid.

Zara Home or Toast (in the sale!) are my nightie go-tos. 100% cotton both.

Lands end supine cotton nightdresses. They’re plain and come in different lengths and sleeve lengths. They’re made of thick cotton so I do tend to find they run warm, though

Just seen you’re looking for sexy - lands end isn’t that, sorry! But they are v comfy
