Oh for a light cotton camisole nightie in the heat!

Something simple, pretty but basic. Can’t find one anywhere. They’re all satiny or nylon sexy things. Too hot to sleep. Maybe tying a sarong might work instead?

Do you need to wear anything to sleep?

Bluebells1970 · 15/06/2023 11:25

Cyberjammies.

I've got lovely cotton chemises from there which are really simple and wash brilliantly.

If you've got the budget David Nieper nighties are even lovelier.

maudesvagina · 15/06/2023 11:27

M and s had some surprisingly

I can't sleep naked I have to be covered

I saw a nice one in Sainsbury’s the other day - just simple white cotton

The White Company has loads (expensive, of course):

This is extremely cute: https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350280897.aspx

That's lovely & in a cool cotton muslin type material.
I have shortie PJ's with a camisole top from Asda in the same material. As my hot flushes seem to start mid-chest area & i need to flip the top up ☺️

AtomicBlondeRose · 15/06/2023 11:36

Cyberjammies has some really light cotton ones that are very cool.

Ihaveamagicwand · 15/06/2023 11:36

I have a couple of long cotton camisole style nighties that are blissful to wear at the moment. But they were bought as cotton sundresses and ‘repurposed’. You can often find them in high street stores, my last one was from Peacocks the two before that from Tesco. Wash and wear well and have a bit of support at the bust too.

Another vote for Cyberjammies - although mine are sleeveless but not strappy

ThursdayFreedom · 15/06/2023 11:39

Another vote for birthday suit. I just get tangled in nighties!

goid luck finding what you want 👍🏻

hettiethehare · 15/06/2023 11:39

I have this one from John Lewis (but in stripes from a few years back) and it is perfect in the hot weather.

Clementineorsatsuma · 15/06/2023 11:41

Primark short pyjamas with strappy top for me. Very cool and no tangling!

PinkFootstool · 15/06/2023 11:42

Tesco had lots of light cotton cami/shorts combos in this week.

Dancingoapin · 15/06/2023 11:44

I recently got this from JL and it is so lovely and cool - not jersey and not cotton mix. Appreciate not quite a chemise but very light to wear and not silky/satin.

They also have this:

Tippytour · 15/06/2023 11:48

Some good ideas here!

Though I’ve been everywhere, John Lewis, M&S, Tu Primark (you can get the odd really great thing there, but no really cool summer nightie vests or camisoles seen this year as yet!)

I am a bit fussy though, would prefer no “hearts” or cartoons or silly words!

I got one from Poi Moi last year with bust support. Because I feel a lot better with a bit of bust support. Haven't found any others with bust support except bravissimo and those are more expensive than the dresses I buy for summer!

Tippytour · 15/06/2023 12:13

The white company look just the ticket - except they’re all white! There’s a nice grey one - but out of stock in my size. This is what I’m finding too with the suitable ones!

@hettiethehare the key word may be “chemise”. There’s a few on John Lewis site. I must have something loose not clingy. Big bust too.

I got a lovely victoran style one in navy from next. Its long but really lightweight and so comfy. I love it.
