Why can’t I find the sort of nightdress I want?
For winter, long sleeves, plain , long length so it doesn't ride up over my knees, half way round my back?
The only ones I can find are voluminous, brushed cotton with lots of gathers and a lace trim, not my style at all.
Jersey cotton preferred but I don’t mind a bit of a mixture as long as it is soft and comfortable.
I did find one, but it was £69.

I agree with lizzypopbottle - just make your own. I tend to draw around something I already find comfortable (adding seam allowances) and make a duplicate.

Have you looked at Cotton Traders ? They have a few of that sort of style

With me, nighties in Summer, and pyjamas in Winter. Actually, I like PJs , Summer and Winter
