Hi,
Does anyone know of a semi-fitted, sleeveless nightdress pattern (any length) which has thinnish (not spaghetti) straps?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Annie, the butterick pattern I did before Christmas is lovely, and doesn't have spaghetti straps.
Butterick 5963
I made the pyjamas, but I fully intend to make a few nighties for the summer.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!
, but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Thanks for the suggestions - further research finds Butterick B5792 which is on sale!
@Francesca
I did search Lekala for nightwear but only found very exotic (put me in mind of "Agent Provocateur"...) patterns.
What key words did you use in your search?

That's a lovely pattern Annie, it has a pyjama option as well.
I really like the nightwear I made for my hols, it fits really nicely, and I feel very comfortable in it.

I went to find the pattern I use for nighties - like this one:

...and discovered it was Designer Stitch's
Frida
dress pattern crossed with the Blank Slate
Valetta
top, and with the straps narrowed a bit.
I'm not sure whether that's helpful or just entertaining!!

What you want a nightdress for, I've got one,my just in case hospital one. Dressing gowns, I've got about six. So much cooler in the nude, especially when it's hot.

Mine was an unexpected stay
@Greybird
. I went in for gall bladder removal by keyhole, they then discovered it was stuck to my bowel so it was the full monte and I had to stay in. DH had to scrabble round to find me a nightdress so he finished up in Peacocks in Retford and asked for the assistants help (typical, loves to talk). It was something like this:

I keep thinking I really ought to get another one, just in case.

Yep, I have never worn anything in bed, so, hopefully no hospital stay for me

I caused myself a problem with this. Having made a new dressing gown - my entry in the Stash-busting contest - I was trying to find something without a pattern on (that fabric definitely doesn't want any competition in the pattern aspect). I haven't made anything like this before so I am quite looking forward to it.

I am always freezing cold at night and wear a long sleeved nighty and often socks too. After my mastectomy my left arm is always very cold and in the summer I often wear a nighty with one sleeve. I usually buy them from Landsend in their sale. I am about to have my 8th spinal operation and usually just wear the hospital gowns for my hospital stay, I have taken nighties but they are too hot with the hospital heating.
