but always wear old t-shirts, baggy leggings, vests etc. - basically any old thing that has seen better days! What do you wear between the sheets???

I'm rather disappointed the first AnthonyGrumps post was a mistaken. I was quite intrigued! grin

Green my DD bought her two brothers those onesie's for Christmas they where in an animal print also but they had long tails attached to the rear,just can't imagine what the pair of them look like in them though !!!

glammanana - while I was choosing my granddaughter's 'onesie', there was a young woman who was buying about ten of them! She'd decided that she wanted to have all her adult family to be wearing them on Christmas morning as they opened their presents. I have a picture in my mind of zebras, cats, giraffes etc, all opening their Christmas presents....!grin

One thing that bothers me about those onesies. You know.... when you need to hasten to the loo...?

greenmossgiel Thu 19-Jan-12 19:04:36

Yes, I agree, Annobel! When I need to go, I really do have to go THEN! A onesie would be no good to me! blush

T shirt nighties with long sleeves preferably unless it's summer when I have short sleeves. However when I stay in hotels I wear pjs just in case there's a fire and I have to go down the stairs and there's a wind blowing!

goldengirl I can't help feeling that, however shapely it may be, guests evacuating a burning hotel in the middle of the night, are unlikely to be much interested in your bottom. smile

Fire alarm went off once in a large Bristol business hotel. 7 flights down. it was winter and about 2 am.
Glad I put on my winter coat and boots over the long sleeved cotton nightie. Some girls were there in pjs. Then someone pulled up in a car and asked what was going on. What do they think was going on? All assembling to do some kind of small hours fun run maybe? Answers on a postcard...
7 flights back up. Unless you want to compete with the other 300 people for a ride in the lift.

I seem to have things the opposite way round to most contributors, in their baggy t-shirts.

My daytime clothing is boring and practical, but for bedtime I indulge myself with long, satin, pastel nightdresses, which would not be my style at all to wear in public.

JessM hilarious grin

JessM DH has been in that position many times because he stayed in hotels during the working week. He said he had it off to a fine art, all clothes placed so that he could jump into them and his briefcase alongside. He brags that he never once turned up in the car park without being fully dressed unlike some who would turn out in bare feet and flimsy nightclothes.

I bought a cotton adult onesie from funzee which is nice to sleep in (www.funzee.co.uk)

I wear some silk pyjamas that I got from here: www.pinkcamellia.com/search.asp?types2=yes&type2=Pyjamas. They are very comfortable smile

I prefer to wear nothing but it's not pretty and I don't want to scare the grandchildren! Nighties get twisted, so prefer pyjamas I tend to get hot so don't want too much coverage. Also need support, but not a strappy top. Am i asking for the impossible?
