Granny nighties

[WhatIfWhatIf]

Not sure I'm putting this in the right place as clearly granny nighties are not renowned for being either stylish or beautiful but it is shopping related so maybe someone will be able to help me!

My poor mum is currently in hospital and is therefore spending a lot of time in nighties. I would like to get her some new ones but can't seem to find any suitable ones anywhere.

My list of requirements is not long, I was hoping for below the knee, short sleeves (but not sleeveless), no low neckline and ideally cotton.

Any ideas of where to look?

Hope your mum is home soon

I found a couple of long nighties in matalan. I just bought a couple for a hospital stay coming up. They are currently in the sale, if you are quick!

I buy my MILs in Bon marche

John Lewis or Cyberjammies for good nightdresses.

We swear by M&S for my auntie

Thanks all, will go and take a look.

Popsy

Bon marche?? Or Tesco might do some x

m&S and possible also Edinburgh Woollen Mill

T K Maxx might be worth a look.

M&S or Bonne Marche

Slenderella will have a lot of what you’re looking for.

@WhatIfWhatIf i hope your mum is on the road to recovery. Can I just gently suggest you don’t go for cotton with no stretch as getting this on and off is tricky for her/nursing staff with no give in the sleeves or necks of cotton- stretchy and a size up would be better for ease of dressing and undressing if she is bed ridden or less mobile.

What about an oodie sleep tee? Softer than soft, stretchy and long, but not granny like, but so so soft and easy to clean for hospital.

Just make sure it doesn’t have lovely anglaise style cut out styling at the top. Mine did.
I recall noticing with horror (after one morning ward round) that one of my nipples was protruding from one of the gaps.

When my Mum was in hospital I bought a big supply of T-Shirt type nighties in BonMarche.

If you mean proper old fashioned white lacy nighties (MIL ones) I found them pretty much impossible to buy and ended up with PJ's as MIL kept flashing her bits due to dementia.

My mum loves lands end nightdresses. There is always a code somewhere too.

Our local market always has tons of these. I think they are coming into fashion so your mum may be ahead of the trend!

M&S has barely a cotton nightie this year. The only ones I've seen are short. I've been looking for mother and MIL. On-line the M&S Cyberjammies ones are good but expensive imo for hospital.

If I were in hospital I would hope someone would bring me this:

Toast flannel nightshirt

They also have others with shorter sleeves.

@FourFiveEightNine . Mother's 89 and she keeps her oldest nightie, dressing gown and slippers fo potential hospital stays. On the basis they can go straight in the hospital bin.

these are 100% cotton jersey

In that case, @RosesAndHellebores, as the OP’s mother is in need of new nightwear, I’d imagine

Primark

would be the best place to look. I’ve always been able to find good looking nightwear there, not long lasting, but cheap enough to go ‘straight in the bin’ afterwards.

(My own nonagenarian DM has a store of well-worn Toast, and similar stuff, ready to be packed if and when necessary.)

M&S
When my DM was in hospital (sadly now passed) I looked all over for nighties.
Bought some from M&S, short sleeve, calf length, thin, soft t-shirt maternal.
I was in there last week and saw some.
