Damart may be another option.

Lands’ End are good, and for cotton nightdresses too.

Was going to say the same, we bought them for our Mum

Sorry to learn of your mums dementia. I hope she’s given lots of love from her carers.

Will she only wear dresses?
Primark was a life saver for clothing some of my elderly ladies, they did nice soft and stretchy loungewear but it wasn’t too expensive but washed well. It was ideal when they needed incontinence pads. TU at Sainsbury’s I used to get my own grans loungewear from but this was a while ago.
Unfortunately with dementia dresses aren’t always ideal because the legs are so vulnerable with potential falls. I know older ladies who have always worn dresses are stuck in their way but to protect the skin could your mum wear some nice thick leggings?
