Nothing? or baggy old t shirt? What if there's a fire in the night? The hunky firemen and all the neighbours are going to see you!
I have a very thick warm dressing gown which has saved a fortune in gas, I don't need the heat on when I get up unless it's snowing. I get dressed an hour later.
Always warm in bed with 2 furry little dogs.

I would love to say Chanel No 5 but I'd be lying! Fleecy PJ bottoms and a t shirt type top. On Monday night I was so cold I found a white fleece and put it on in the middle of the night and DH was quite surprised when he woke up and saw me in it. My excuse was that the dog had me up 3 times to let her out!

Very comforting, jeni, in more ways than one I'm sure. smile

jeni Wed 18-Jan-12 18:55:55

My dressing gown is terry towelling! Practical as its difficult to dry myself with arthritis. So I just shower,put on late dh's dressing gown and get back onto bed for 10mins[smile

I am getting some grand ideas!

Ariadne - cost cutting smile

bagitha - Cashmere? (envy)

jeni - satin - smooth.....

Like all the posh dressing gowns. Think I'd prefer one of those to new pj's!

susiecb - white is cool wink

carol - girl after my own heart smile

gally - only socks, eh? blush

Annobel - socks and nighty - very warm grin

*learnergranma] - bedsocks are go...

glammanana - clearly dressin' for bed....grin

Same as Carol, but when I get up it's a big fluffy d/gown.

jeni Wed 18-Jan-12 18:30:44

Nice satin nightdresses, satin only because I find it easier to turn over in bed in it!

Ariadne Wed 18-Jan-12 18:27:26

Nothing. smile

I love a nice white linen nightie and get these localy but Bonsoir and David Nieper have lovely things. The White Company have some lovely pjs but are pricey. In my experience a warm bath and nice sleep clothes add to a better nights rest.

Baggy good to see you are keeping up standards with the dressing gown grin

Carol Wed 18-Jan-12 17:45:28

Baggy tee-shirt type nighties, as plain as possible, don't do pink. Must get some more, actually - I keep forgetting to stock up.

Gally Wed 18-Jan-12 17:39:32

Nothing - absolutely starkers unless it's particularly chilly when I don a pair of Qantas tracksuit type pj's but they're usually off by the morning - too uncomfortable. Occasionally I wear socks until my feet warm up - heavens what a sight that must be grin

glammanana Wed 18-Jan-12 17:33:07

I love my pj's and have quite a few pair's I always seem to go for the same colours pinks and pale blue's,I have a few dressing gowns that are fleecy my DS1s partner always buy's them for me for xmas and birthdays,I also have a black and white spotted dressing gown that I bought about 10yrs ago when primark first opened in our area it is trimmed with red and has a hood DCs said it makes me look like Cruella Daville,it was the first thing I unpacked when we moved back to UK 3yrs ago.

Anything big and loose and comfy. Have recently discovered something I think is called modal, which makes fabric soft and stretchy. And bedsocks. Always bedsocks.

Annobel Wed 18-Jan-12 17:28:33

Bedsocks - and whatever nightie comes out of the drawer first.

bagitha Wed 18-Jan-12 17:24:51

huge long-sleeved T-shirts and baggy (who me?) old soft cotton trousers. Last winter I also wore a cashmere jumper during the freeze, and socks, and sometimes ankle warnmers as well plus, occasionally, wrists warmers!!!!! It hasn't been that cold this winter, thankfully, so just the tee and the old cotton joggers.

I have a very posh dressing gown though grin.

Butternut Wed 18-Jan-12 17:19:46

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???
