Ladies is this you?
You go into a store, you need slippers, a nightdress, pyjamas, some apparel that you wear to bed, some wear nothing so doesn't count. You rarely find these garments without hearts, bows, polka dots, cute kittens, cute bears, and sickly tat that a 5 year would be ashamed to wear, so why do they make these for grown women. I don't want to go into a hospital wearing what looks like a babies castoffs, i know there are shops you can buy plain wear, but its not just limited to nightwear,i wish someone would tell them that many women don't like fluffy bunnies on their chests, unless its your bloke in a bunny costume, that's different.

I tend to go more feminine without being overkill girly (teddies and all that) but don't mind more pretty than tacky looking hearts, dots etc...
My issue is more that I always get too warm in bed if anything so go for strappy nighties and just want nice comfy ones (not silky/satiney frilly boudoir stuff - I'm terminally bloody single!) with non stretchy straps and no empire line/cup kind of detail - at my boob size they just don't fit or look wrong.
I got some lovely ones from M&S sale quite a while back with some vouchers I was given, lasted for ages despite the amount of wear and not overly girly. Same with my slippers and dressing gown.

Its me too! I sleep in oversized cotton traders t shirts and have some plain pull on pyjama trousers from Carol Hochman (QVC) when i need to be decent. For me the further complication are the never ending flushes (energiser bunny me, 18 years and still glowing) so all mt sleep wear MUST be thin cotton.
Have you seen this too? M&S think they can tell you what colour underwear will best suit your skintone here:

So I'm extremely fair - well white actually - so navy blue undies will suit me, or bright pink or sky blue. Colours I know from harsh experience do not suit at all.

With regard to the M & S link ^^^ surely no one needs any help to know what colours they like - rather than have M&S give you helpful hints and is there actually a bra in the 3rd box along in the "Honey" range? I know that my eyesight isn't great but really! Also i used to get very annoyed with their slipper range - I used to get my mother her slippers there a few years ago and was rather annoyed to have to get a pair with bunnies on for an 80 year old woman!
I'm an Avon rep. They do some lovely, practical items, like purses and fitness equipment. Thing is, it's almost always pink, frilly, floral or girly in some other way. Luckily Mr Saxy is in touch with his feminine side and isn't ashamed to use any of it, so he has all that and I get all the blokey styled stuff.
I've got a couple of lovely old, quite long comfortable T shirts which I'm happy with, except a couple of years ago I was rushed into hospital for an op, and when I was a bit better I asked my OH to bring me in a nightie and dressing gown and he returned with a very short t-shirt and the extremely scruffy dressing gown that noone is meant to see! fortunately my sister visited, and went and bought me a sensible nightie! so my modesty was saved!
I've always worn the plainest stuff I can find...usually in black or dark grey. I recently bought some plain trouser bottoms from primark in the softest jersey. Tops have to be soft also..in summer I wear primark's seamless camis...only £3,and they last forever. I also find things in TKMaxx sometimes.
Karenmac no insult meant, you look like an actress in the American drama The West Wing, if you see her in it, you would understand
her name is Patricia Richardson, don't know any programme called Home Improvement, or is that the one with Tim Allen? Just to add one more, i have now seen some women wear pyjamas going shopping, complete with fluffy mules, what are they thinking,
And a chinese man walking down the highstreet a few weeks back in his pyjamas, the old stripey things, you used to get in hospitals, i think he might have got out from someplace, slippers on too.
