Pretty nightwear for first weekend away together

72 replies

Arrivederla · 06/02/2022 09:38

So, going away with (fairly) new man. He has stayed over before but this will be the first time we have stayed in a hotel and had a "romantic" trip, iyswim. Wink

I want to buy a pretty nightie/chemise type thing, but struggling to find anything. Everything I find is either ridiculously revealing, cheap shiny fabric or ultra frumpy. Not terribly keen on spaghetti straps as I don't find them very comfortable, but definitely no sleeves!

Anyone got any ideas? I am middle-aged, size12/14 about 5'7" blonde, pale colouring... all help welcomed!

What about this?

Not sure why you are bothered by ridiculously revealing.. ?! I like the one posted above. Do you want it with proper underwired/ cup sized or don't mind?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/02/2022 09:54

These from Jigsaw are nice, but do have spaghetti straps.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/02/2022 09:54

Just noticed all out of stock. Useless!

InTheNameOfAllThatIsHonest · 06/02/2022 09:55

Rigby and peller?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/02/2022 09:59

Bravissiomo have a few, but not seen in real life.

John Lewis online has quite a few different brands/styles. Some cute shortie PJs too, if that’s a slightly less “revealing” option?

ghislaine · 06/02/2022 10:14

How about this? It comes in Ivory or purple and there’s a matching kimono.

Pour Moi has loads of chemises in nice colours, thick straps, and on sale too like this one www.pourmoi.co.uk/products/cherish-chemise/?styleid=39015&curr=gbp&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgP6PBhDmARIsAPWMq6lNChg7Vr9P-aSnKDxVdoshuh-SjpGp9JTuCTmhjxvP7Wrtmqe173QaApITEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

@Justkeeppedaling what's your point?
Justkeeppedaling · 06/02/2022 10:39

Fancy nighties for a weekend away is my point.
And that women really still do this!Shock

WoodSageandSeasalt · 06/02/2022 10:42

I don’t get the 2022 comment either and in fact am looking for something similar myself. What’s wrong with wanting to look/feel nice?

What’s wrong with it? Why shouldn’t OP wear what she wants?

@Justkeeppedaling what? Are women wearing things they like and feel nice/attractive in?

Clearly!
It's not as if the OP's new man has demanded a peep hole bra and crotch less knickers!

That's nice and a good style - not terribly keen on black as it seems a bit obvious. Sorry, should probably have mentioned that!!

This is lovely but maybe a bit shiny?

I can remember going away with a bloke who professed he wanted a wild weekend of sex...i bought sexy undies etc... he was then happy with missionary and i then wore my christmas pjs id also packed and we then stayed up late watching the horror channel on freeview... was great!

He later confessed to finding the idea of a "naughty weekend" being a bit of a worry he would be a let down!

That's quite funny and I can kind of see where he is coming from. Don't think it's going to worry newish man though! Blush

I thought the days of dressing up for a man in the bedroom were long gone.
I doubt the man in this relationship is giving so much thought to his nightwear.

I think probably not proper underwiring etc although wouldn't totally rule it out.

You are honestly one of the funniest people I've had the pleasure of interacting with on here, and I've been on here a loooong time.
