Why can’t I find…?

I have trouble buying pj's. I got some from TheirNibs but XL is far too big and L is snug, both have jackets that look much shorter on me than in the pictures. I'm 5'6" and they're barely long enough. At least the fabric is lovely, pure cotton with a slight sheen though probably too thick for warm weather. Expensive though.
I used to be able to buy cotton pj's all over the place.

Fabric, pattern, thread, sewing machine, scissors, pins. You get the garment you want, it fits and you get a boost to your mental health from being creative. Who could ask for more? ?

As someone already said, Landsend have them, worth looking at their sales too, 80%off some items today

Oh the trouble finding a nightdress, I don't want it with straps too thin because it probably won't cover my bosom, don't want it to thick, it makes me too hot, don't want skimpy material, don't want it too long (I'm short) or too short (I'm not 21 any more), don't want scratchy lace, don't want silly patterns or slogans. I just want a decent length, short sleeved nightie in a good natural fabric which does not cling and does not cost the earth.

Another vote from me for Damart. Mine have lasted years. (Just make sure they're 100% cotton. Some of theirs aren't.)

Thanks for all the suggestion re nightdresses.

Pollyj, re shoes. I am the same. 6 is too big and 5 a bit tight.
Hotter do half sizes. Pavers do Wide fit, which I find are usually just right, depending on the shape.
If you have a Boundary Mills outlet nearby ( other outlets too) they have great prices on these makes.

Oh great. Not just me then! I will look into those.

I have been wearing Land's End nightdresses for years. Long sleeve, short sleeve, patterned, plain in Supima cotton. Buy in the sale for excellent value

Marks have exactly what you want! I saw it yesterday, longer short length, jersey cotton in inoffensive blue and white pattern……alleluia!

My bug bear is ‘cutesy’ pyjamas. I am 56, I don’t want to wear nightwear with fluffy bunnies, or teddies, or cute play on words on it (equally awful). I gave up year ago and wear T shirts and Lycra boy short pants.

During lockdown I treated myself to lovely jersey ones from Bonsoir. Very expensive but will last for years and so comfortable -https://bonsoiroflondon.com/collections/womens-nightdresses/products/french-pleat-nightdress-berry?variant=41873499488435

I find an electric blanket works better than a long nightdress.

Triumph have some long sleeved nighties.

Why can’t I find shoes in half sizes `below a £100. I don’t want a 5 - too small. A 6 is too big and no, I don’t want to stuff the toes!

Moshulu do half sizes and are so comfy!

Beautiful! I’d definitely wear that as a dress

Yes. Amazon to the rescue. Have had some really nice nightdresses from there. I always go for cotton and they are very reasonably priced.

Concordia I'm with Cabbie21 and the nighties from Lands End. I bought for winter -long sleeve and summer - short sleeve last year and altho' the fabric has changed it is much softer and very comfortable. It has not deteriorated as has some of their tops and t-shirts. Good luck!

I wear my husband's old winter shirts, cut the collar off, and pair of M&S winter pyjama bottoms. Cosy and not expensive. In summer the coolest discarded shirt & pair of knickers, or summer pj's. He is large, shirts long!!

Lands end do them.

There are some nice nightshirts on Next Online (various brands)

I only wear loungewear/ P.J's so I can't help here

Thanks for the heads up! They are perfect and have just ordered one.

My order from Landsend arrived within two days of ordering. I bought one long sleeved for winter and one short sleeved for summer. The fabric pattern is not fantastic, but they were in the sale and I couldnt see the point in paying twice the price just for a plain colour instead of a patterned one. Very comfortable.
