I swear I've read threads on this before with specific companies recommended but I'm buggered if I can find them using the search function.
I'm at that age where I'm considering long white traditional cotton nighties. You know like a Victorian... 😂 with a bit of broderie anglaise maybe.
I've had a quick look on M&S, John Lewis, none to be found.
Where does one buy a traditional nightie ? A historical cosplay shop? A museum?

Otherwise TK Maxx usually have quite a good range of cotton nightdresses in stock.

Lots of options on Etsy.

Oooh, the cologne and cotton ones are gorgeous !

LizzieSiddal · 04/08/2022 20:39

I’ve got this one www.cologneandcotton.com/natalie

I absolutely love it and am a total convert to white cotton nighties after decades of PJs. Will be buying more.

I laughed out loud at "A museum?"

I was going to suggest Etsy.

BrennieGirl · 04/08/2022 21:00

Sometimes they have them in Zara in the home section.

Godzillaandgodzuki · 04/08/2022 21:00

I've got two from Bonsior of London, a white long sleeve full length one that I wander around in looking like a Victorian ghost and a mid sleeve mid length one with a v neck lace trim, sale was on recently, sorry can't link!

BeyondMyWits · 04/08/2022 21:03

I hate them, I have one, it has no "give" in it, so when you roll over in the night you have to take care not to get it caught under you or it can rip or strangle you!

kateandme · 04/08/2022 21:09

Ooo I wish I could afford these!

TheCraicDealer · 04/08/2022 21:28

have the Isla and the Isla long sleeved from Cologne & Cotton and love them. The drawstring under the bust stops it looking too sack-like, which one size stuff usually does on me. Would recommend!

Powell Craft also have a huge selection, I've ordered some from there for toddler DD which are lovely.
