Nightdress pattern suggestions

[annieeg]

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.

Thanks for the suggestions - further research finds Butterick B5792 which is on sale!

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.

Kwik Sew usually have some nice patterns for nightwear.

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!!

That's a lovely garment !

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.

I have been searching for nightdresses, for my hospital stay @Gernella !
Unable to find anything so I have ordered B5963 and I will adapt it to suit me.

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.

Another one who would be caught short....

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.
