Sleepwear

I wear soft pima cotton night dresses from Landsend. I usually buy them when they're on offer.

David Neiper, Bella di Notte and Patra occur to me.
Failing that, be like Marilyn Monroe and stick to Chanel No. 5

I treat myself to a new silk nightie every year from The White Company and now have a little collection, but they are quite expensive. They last for years though despite going in the washing machine. They only have them in the run up to Christmas.

I love Patra's silk vests. They are so light yet warm and don't add bulk under winter clothes.

I like the look of those vests, Anya. How are they size-wise?

I went for a size larger than my usual Ana as I don't like the look when something is stretched from one breast to the other, I prefer the separate look to the platform look, if you get my drift. So a size larger draped nicely.

I also find them great for wearing under filmy tops. I have several in cream, black, no sleeves, cap sleeves and long sleeves. And because they're so fine they dry very quickly.

Thanks, Anya, I'm going to order a couple. I usually live in M&S thermals in the winter but they're no good under fine tops

Thanks All really helpful.

I have in fact got a White Company in the small town I live in and had never thought of them. I shall be checking it out later, plus the other helpful suggestions.

Your idea gave me a laugh Soutra. If I follow your suggestion, especially as it is my 43 Wedding Anniversary today, my DH will think all his Christmases have come at once.

Ana I also have the Patra silk camisoles, just plain with thin straps.
They are useful in summer too, when you still want a Tshirt but it's a bit chilly.

I've used Patra, but have switched to Sulis Silks. Their camis seem better quality, they're a little longer and they're less expensive than Patra - even with p & p added.

I don't find Sulis website very easy to use.

Silk vests - I've been wearing John Lewis ones in the winter for many years, but in daytime, under wool jumpers. I've just bought 2 new ones, quite expensive (£38 each) but should last a few years.
As for nightwear, I'm still looking for warm cotton jersey pyjamas. The M&S ones are ok, but they don't have a cosey neckline.

I fancy some pjs for the winter as I usually wear nighties throughout the year and today I visited Next. No nighties there but they had some very nice pjs. The only problem was the tops in the sets had Christmas logos in the front - which I loathe- or silly sayings which I also dislike. The tops for the separates seem rather thin compared to the bottoms so I didn't buy in the end. However I did think the prices were reasonable. I could always buy a onesie I suppose!!!!! Yuck

Clearly outclassed here in the sexy nightwear stakes - I wear cotton pj bottoms and a variety of co ordinating t shirts

I also detest silly logos and sayings. Often I buy t-shirts to use as pj tops.

Don't wear anything....

Ooh!

You should check this one: www.jasminesilk.com/ladies-nightwear/c59
It has quite a good choice of silk nightwears. Maybe you'll fing smth proper for you

ariadne neither do I. I do have nightwear that I put on in the morning!!! to make the tea etc. I have tried wearing stuff in bed but always end up getting irritated with it and taking it off after half an hour or so.

Not nightwear, but I bought a trouser petticoat today. I am going to wear it under itchy trousers. DH said "Oh, pantaloons". It's not.

I should think that they are really good under wool trousers. It would make them look better too

I've just ordered bamboo camis. I love clothes made from bamboo, light warm and breathable!

Nothing in bed - T-shirt nearby when GC are staying - wouldn't want to frighten them!
