Please help. I’m trying to find a nighty that is:
100% cotton
Sleeveless but not strappy i.e not with adjustable straps that slip
Not white
Has no bows or cartoon characters on it
Doesn’t look like a Victorian grandma would wear it
Knee length
Size 18/20
I have looked everywhere!

Try Amazon? I got a lovely turquoise one last year. Now out of stock , but if you scroll down to the 'more like this" bit there are a lot of suggestions. amzn.eu/d/0idCHH6E

I was looking for similar a few weeks ago, but I wanted short sleeves, not sleeveless. I'll post my thread if I can find it, as it might be helpful for some of the links.

John Lewis? My mother in law buys hers from there.

I was saying to a friend just yesterday that these shouldn’t be so difficult to find! M&S had what would have been a perfect one, except it was white. I want black! If I could find the right pattern, I’d try making myself some.

Try Damart.

Sainsbury quite good for cotton night dresses! Lots of short sleeve ones but a couple with no sleeves.

Try Lands End. I have had almost exactly what you describe, except mine have short sleeves. They may do sleeveless nighties, too.

Thank you. I searched before posting and found your thread! I’ve tried most of those suggestions. It’s mad they don’t exist!

Have looked but they are quite spenny and also not keen on the swing design.

Love this but not the straps.

I bought a black esmara t shirt dress recently from middle lidl. £5.99. Short sleeve but I think it’s great as a nightdress, and the fabric is thin and cool , I lived in it in the house in the heatwave. Can’t say it’s 100% cotton but whatever it is it’s just the comfiest thing ever .

They still have this in pink

LadyPene · 04/08/2026 22:43

I've also been looking for the same, failed so far, but interestingly have bought the TU one linked above. (It's way too short to be decent but is comfy). I've also bought a nightdress from Boody. It's bamboo, not cotton, but I am a recent convert to them and have a few of their items (vest, slip, t shirts too) and really like the comfort and quality.

This doesn't seem that swingy? Is £29 too dear? It's 60% cotton & 40 modal. You may need to compromise somewhere ...!!

The Cyberjammies one:

EleanorMc67 · 04/08/2026 23:05

This is cotton, comes in pink or blue in larger sizes - & the straps are integral so won't slip.

Bella di Notte, bit twee, perhaps?

EleanorMc67 · 04/08/2026 23:13

This Cyberjammies cotton/modal one is reduced & in your size. It's not one of the swing shapes, though it is over the knee.
