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!

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

I know. I used to be able to pick up exactly what I wanted in asda, M&S or sainburys. I don't want nylon, nor see through white or it so short I can't bend over!

Also a bit longer than you want, but reduced, in your size in cotton/modal, & a pretty colour.

Oodie have started doing sleeveless nighties

Ditsy Floral Scoop Neck Nightie – The Oodie UK https://share.google/8g2OXH8FnR532ARYE

They have strappy ones as well as these, not sure what style you are after

These are long and viscose / linen / lyocell / cotton / modal - just throwing them because they're quite a stylish shape and would be cool for sleeping. £34 for two.

There's also these - cotton, jersey upper and poplin (?) lower parts, £31 for two:

These are great. I'm usually a pyjama person but got them for a hospital stay. They've been a godsend for wearing indoors in the heatwave.

I presume nightdresses don’t sell as much as pajamas do unfortunately. I did see this one in the sale.

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

These are lush - thank you!

Cyberjammies! I had the same wishlist and stumbled across them. Ive now got about 6 of them.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2026 16:24

Those Oodie ones are not cotton.

On the rare occasion one does find a cotton one, it’s often cotton jersey, which I don’t want.

BeKhakiReader · 09/08/2026 19:39

The Edinburgh Wool website have got some short sleeve ones.

eatreadsleeprepeat · 11/08/2026 17:52

I am very tempted by this.
I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

aLittleWhiteHorse · 11/08/2026 21:22

I have the Cyberjammies £29 swan one in a different colour and it is fantastic. It is really light and cool, does not cling to the body but glides over everything without being a swing style. I got it in M&S but Cyberjammies own site has a 15% discount for first time buyers.
