Another trad white cotton nightie one...

[catfunk]

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?

Then you just need this bathrobe to complete the Meg Ryan from Sleepless in Seattle look. (sigh)

I did wonder this @BeyondMyWits I have a lot of linen nightshirts that sort of do the same. My plan here is to get an xxxl billowy Marquee style then hopefully there's enough fabric for that not to happen?

This bloody influencer got me wanting one - doubt it'll look the same on my bedraggled self in my bedraggled house 😂 www.instagram.com/p/CUlKPPIgZZW/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I have just ordered this one from amazon which will arrive tomorrow

I see Benetton has a nice one in the sale

@user4670 I also ordered an amazon one today. Cheaper than C&C and faster delivery - if I like wearing it will splash out on a C&C/ WCN one!

Whoever suggested Zara home was right, they had some nice sort ones in when I popped in the other day but I was after a long one.

My cotton lane nightie arrived today and it’s lovely. It looks really well made and the cotton is a good quality. It’s a size 10 and slightly roomy around the bust for me but other than that it looks perfect.

I want one of these, except black. They don't seem to exist.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie not exactly the same?

Thanks @Sittingallthetime I don't want jersey; I want gorgeous cool cotton, like an old shirt that's been washed until it's soft and lovely!

Lands End?

@User4670 the cheapo one I went for on Amazon is pretty thin cotton. Can see my nipples through it.
Interested to sleep in it tonight and see how I feel with the lack of 'give': I much prefer pure cotton or linen but that's my only gripe with it.

Just had to link this thread, even though most of the companies have been mentioned again.

(And you were kinda right about museums.)

This kind of thing?

I miss past times for this sort of thing.

I get all mine from tk max (I store) and white nightie (online)

The cotton lane website said they used to supply to past times

Powell Craft, generous sizing.

Good shout @LadyOfTheCanyon !
