will bedjackets make a return?

I don’t think they will, as we’re in an era of fluffy leisure wear now, made of fleece, velour and the like. I was looking in the nightwear section in M&S the other day, and you seem to be able to get different matching combinations, including a cardigan style fleece top.

I have one I bought from M&S for MIL when I realised that she would be spending more time in bed, sadly she didn't get much time to wear it, so I keep it handy. I like to have a cool bedroom so it's great to wear in the morning when I'm having my first cup of tea or in the evening when I like to read, stops me from feeling a bit chilly.

I remember my grandmother and mother in law having them, they were truly hideous.

I have a real pashmina, purchased from a charity shop on Church Street Kensington, it does the job very well, I’ve had it about 20 years, it has had many holidays, evenings out, evenings in and mornings in bed.

£15 well spent.

I am going to get very rich selling my new invention;

electric bedjackets.

it is obvious this winter the majority of us will have to watch the pennies. The other day when I was sorting through knitting patterns many vintage ones were for bedjackets some very pretty ones and I was thinking that they could be great for the winter time. nothing worse than sitting up in bed reading or having a cup of tea, cosy legs and feet in bed but your arms and chest get chilly! when i had my daughter many moons ago I had one for hospital mum gave me. i thought it would be a waste of time especially as hospitals are so hot but for early morning feeds etc it was great and I used it when I got home. Just wondered would anyone use or is using a bedjacket?
