A silk/satin shorts and vest pyjama set where the shorts aren't teeny tiny and the vest has broad straps?

There's lots with spaghetti strap cami tops but they won't contain my boobs and the shorts can't be too tiny because my bum is on the large side.

Wear a nightie.

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 02/03/2021 22:23

If you find any @youmakemydreamscometrue I'll buy some too! That's exactly what I want.

Nighties just ride up in bed and I end up with a sweaty scarf like thingGrin. Long Pyjamas are too hot.

You can get lots of lovely satin sets with shorts and a traditional sort of top with a collar.

I like these ones: www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-feather-jacquard-satin-shorts-pyjama-set-oyster/p5305945

They also do some at New Look, Boohoo and similar sites but I would be dubious about quality.

I don't think you will be able to get a set with a vest top with thick straps. It will either be spaghetti straps or a traditional collared top. I personally love the collared tops.

I know exactly what you mean! Sweaty scarf thing!

You might have to buy a daytime silk vest if you want those straps and try and get the shorts seperate, but both in a similar colour.

Redruby2020 · 03/03/2021 10:47

Cropped trouser pyjama set maybe?

Martinisarebetterdirty · 03/03/2021 11:49

Not quite what you are looking for and very expensive but Olivia Von Halle does racer back type silk tops and they are brilliant for larger boobs. The shorts are short but they are cut so that somehow my ass looks good even though it’s rather large. Because of the shaping of the best top, my boobs are fully contained and don’t flop out. (Try the OUTNET for some in the sale).

youmakemydreamscometrue · 03/03/2021 14:49

I couldn't wear a nightie @TheRealMrsJamieFraser hit the nail on the head it's a rumpled sweaty scarf!

Thanks for the other recommendations I'll keep hunting and hopefully find something.

@youmakemydreamscometrue and @MuddleMoo I'm sorry we're all in the same boat 😂

WhiteSandyBeach · 04/03/2021 23:50

Why are pyjama shorts so SUPER short? And where are the pockets?
Grumble grumble.

If I find a pair of PJs with pockets that I like I struggle to throw them out when they get too old. WE NEED POCKETS

Yes, why? Men's and boys' aren't. But women's and girls' are.
youmakemydreamscometrue · 05/03/2021 00:00

@TheRealMrsJamieFraser anyone who doesn't agree is only lying to themselves 

@WhiteSandyBeach YES! functional pockets and shorts that actually cover bum cheeks.

I'm going into pyjama design.

The word 'nightie' reminds me of the word 'wincyette'

Ginmebaby · 05/03/2021 00:16

For pockets you need cyberjammies. I have collected several pairs (as birthday presents - they are quite pricey). Not had the shorts ones as I also suffer from being large of arse and I predict these would rise up. But they do look nice....

Oh I have some with decent shorts with pockets, but they do have narrow straps.

Xiaoxiong · 05/03/2021 07:20

@Ginmebaby I just bought those exact PJs last week! I love them. Deep pockets, pleasingly large shorts with full arse coverage but spaghetti strap vest.

Ledkr · 05/03/2021 07:20

Try shein. They have lots of different styles and so cheap you can get lots.

mrssmiling · 05/03/2021 07:29

Yes, really hard to find! Easier to find separates and combine.
However...this Matalan satin set has a more substantial top and shorts, although includes spaghetti straps.

Chelsea Peers have satin PJ sets, but they may be too skimpy for you, with no larger vest tops.

If you would be happy to choose cotton instead there are more options.
I like these vest tops and shorts (with pockets!) combinations, in pure cotton.

Dilli Grey has lovely nightwear, including these sleep shorts....also with pockets!

WhereAreWeNow · 05/03/2021 07:37

Uniqlo do nice shorts that cover the arse and have pockets. They only stock them in the summer. I wear them with a plain vest top.

Rina66 · 05/03/2021 10:30

What about these from Tillets Clothing? 2 versions, top and shorts fit the brief, but no pockets I’m afraid....

I had a dark blue satin shorts set with thick straps, it was from TK Maxx and I can't remember the brand!

laredoute?

Queenie8 · 05/03/2021 23:29

I second cyberjammies. The most loveliest, comfiest pj's.
