Which do you prefer, for me it’s got to be nighties all the way lol

Either nightie or t-shirt and knickers for me.

A 12/14 used to be a decent size! Or have I just simply put weight on?

No its ok, your clothes have just shrunk - like most of mine!
I used to wear nighties all the time but living in a cold house now I've moved onto PJs and bed socks.

Tee shirt for me , then add jogging bottoms and a hoodie when I get up, until DH goes to work and I can hop into the shower.

Nothing to sleep in -- I would get far too hot. I lounge in PJ's in the evening and morning.

Same as Cassie J for me, I get too hot and tangled wearing anything in bed. Still using my summer quilt.

All 3 for me but not at the same time haha.

PJ's in the winter and nightdresses in the warmer weather.

I like short sleeved knee length t-shirt style nighties as I find them most comfortable. I just put a dressing gown on top in the morning if I have breakfast before showering and dressing. I have one pair of pyjamas which I take when going away as it saves on taking a dressing gown and also helps if I'm cold.

Light pyjamas since menopause. Although I'm not particularly overweight, my thighs seem to get sticky and uncomfortable and feel better with something on. Same with summer dresses.

Gone over to Nighties as I like to feel the wind in the willows at night. Get very hot. Need to lie spreadeagled - terrible, terrible sight.

I wore pyjamas once and woke up naked. I think I took them off in my sleep because I was too hot.

JuliaM Sat 08-Feb-20 12:12:05

Nighties, but the have to be the big soft cotton t-shirt type long enough to cover below the knee.

travelsafar Sat 08-Feb-20 12:12:26

PJ's always. I worry in case i get ill and taken to hospital or there is a fire and i have to get out of the house in my night clothes. At least i will be well covered !!! smile

PJs for me. I hate the way nighties ride up. Maybe I'm just too shuffly in bed grin

annep1 Sat 08-Feb-20 12:17:31

It varies according to how I feel but I think the same as travelsafar. They have to look good just in case.
I have an assortment. Warmer winter and cooler summer pjs, short/long satin nighties. Short cotton nighties.

jo1book grin
Me too.

Either, depending on my mood when I'm taking them out of the drawer.

TwiceAsNice Sat 08-Feb-20 15:05:00

Sleeveless mid length nighties for me. Don’t like pyjamas at all

kittylester Sat 08-Feb-20 15:12:40

PJs with a bust support thing in the top bit. They are getting really tatty but M&S ones now are really fitted vest tops which is not a good look if you have rolls of fat!

maytime2 Sat 08-Feb-20 15:16:14

Why do the sizes have to be 12/14 etc ? I find that size too small and 16/18 too big. Why not have the sizing that is used for dresses size 12 or 14.
I prefer pyjamas, shorty ones in the summer.

Cherrytree59 Sat 08-Feb-20 15:25:13

Almost nothing, wear clean knickers.
When grandchildren sleep over wear shortie pyjamas.

rosenoir Sat 08-Feb-20 15:38:21

Always wore a nightie until moving to a cold house now its pjs.

Went away with a friend that wore the same pjs for 3 nights, surely that is the same as wearing the same underwear for 3 days.

grannypiper Sat 08-Feb-20 15:41:21

Into my P.Js as soon as i get home then into my nightie for bed.

BlueSapphire Sat 08-Feb-20 18:09:04

Neither! Only wear knickers in bed. PJs are just for lounging. Will probably be in them all day tomorrow as not venturing out in Storm Ciara!

SirChenjin Sat 08-Feb-20 18:26:12

PJs with knickers and socks. In the summertime it’s pj shorts, vest top, socks and knickers! Quite how we conceived 4 times I don’t know. I use to hate waking up to a nightdress bunched up around my chest so haven’t worn them for years.
