Where can I find a dark, cotton, mid-calf nightdress?

I'm looking for a cotton, mid calf length nightdress in a dark colour. Preferably short sleeved and could have a pattern. Everything I can find is either above knee length, strappy sleeves or a light colour. Max £20 each.

It is for a particular purpose? Ie does it need to look pretty? For example I found nighties of your description in Matalan when shopping for my hospital bag. They have a few that could fill your requirements.

M&S….. though you may have to stretch your budget just a bit.

ConstanzeMozart · 14/06/2026 18:06

Try Cyberjammies. I’m not sure they’ll fit into your budget full price, but they have good sales and offers. Or if you like them you could try Vinted/eBay.

What size?

Matalan?

Cotton Traders.

For £20 Amazon. Otherwise I'd say wait for the sales and try Damart, M&S, John Lewis.

Tesco online?

Thank you everyone. I'm a size 16 but often buy larger for comfort. I've also looked at almost every place that has been mentioned. Normally I can just get something at a supermarket but this year it feels like I'm looking for a unicorn.

@Dr13Hadley No, it doesn't need to pretty as just DH will see it. Plain with no lace/broderie/frills is fine.
@Pansykavalier @ConstanzeMozart I also looked at cyberjamies at M&S but they are made of modal, not cotton
@springy0c I've never heard of Ethal Austin but google says they went into administration in 2013. Do you have a link to their website?
@Gettingbysomehow Cotton traders have a 2 pack 1 navy, 1 light blue but too large.
@Nsky62 Tesco online only have pale coloured short ones
@LilacDrift Matalan might be an option, thank you.

Any other places to look?

A bit over budget

Super comfortable though and very long lasting.

Yours Clothing might be worth a try. I've bought nightshifts from them before and they often have a 2 for the price of 1 offer.

Ethel Austin have 3 stores only now. No website. If you are in the north west , there is one in Middleton and google says Liverpool and Leeds
