Fabulous cotton nightdress

Maybe not so stylish but where can I get a lovely nightie that's the kind past times would have sold. Cannot. Eat my peri legs to be covered but equally hate wearing only a top. A short ish nightshirt might work but I don't want Disney/ slogans/ bears/ penguins on it! Any options?
Thank you!!!

I like silk sleeveless ones to keep cool and comfortable. I have M and S stretchy jersey cotton for the winter

I'd head straight to Marks and Sparks, they have a few different cotton night dresses.

This one is a plain night shirt that might fit the bill

Otherwise go to their night dress section and filter by Material > cotton and that takes away all the slogan/Disney ones

I’ve just bought the Next one above. Slightly Victorian but I don’t care!

Powell Craft are brilliant for long cotton nighties. Classic and well-made.

Not me reading this and realising I'm wearing a pj top with Care Bears on it and Disney pj bottoms 😂
I have always fancied a really old fashioned traditional flouncy white cotton nightdress though. Just never found one that quite what I'm picturing but you're right Past Times would've been the place for it.

Came to say this. Splurged on three recently and they feel so nice to sleep in. One is full-length and has a bit of a heroine-in-Gothic-novel vibe that I enjoy.

It is amazing how few popular clothing websites do have nice nighties! Or even pjs. If you want non synthetic so many are covered in Disney characters or have "funny" slogans like "I woke up like this", "don't talk to me until coffee" or cutsie slogans. As if we're all suddenly infantilised at nighttime.

Actually, tbf, I just skimmed Next and it's better than it was.

I love Zara Home for these. Always buy when in Spain where they are about £10 cheaper than in the uk.
otherwise Toast (but they’re a difficult style, although still cotton)

Countmeout · 22/05/2023 06:58

Different 🤦‍♀️ although maybe difficult if you don't Like Toast.

I've had a shitty day and arguing with DH and DS about GCSEs now so I'll have a lovely 30 mins off to read these links. Thank you

John Lewis Own Brand nightshirts…

Etsy has some nice ones!

Probably not quite what you are after, but I love Yawn nightwear. The prints are sweet, and the cotton fabric is lovely.

T k Maxx always has some good cotton nighties in the summer. I also agree with PP that Zara Home has nice ones.
