WHY, OH WHY????????????????

[bogwitch]

You know, all I want is a pair of non-sexy PJs that are my voluptuous size and AREN'T EFFING PINK (or any other foul pastel colour (or white), but especially pink), TRIMMED WITH PINK or stamped with a picture of a cute cartoon animal (Sanrio not included, as Hello Kitty would be acceptable). Why is this so EFFING IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!

I'm not even

Look in the men's section. Womens pj are usually the pits.

*nods* Gap Body occasionally has suitable elements (a top, or a pair of pants; their "sleep shorts" are quite fun sometimes), but if you try to shop for a Set of Women's Pyjamas, and you're excluding the aforementioned criteria, you're mostly out of luck.

Apparent lack of UK website scuppers that.

Hmm. maybe. I'm a bit short though.

A quick flick through Ebay reveals a world of Harley Davidson nightwear. Eep.

pajamagram.com has non-pink non-sexy PJs in lots of sizes. (they have pink and sexy ones too, though, be warned)

And I got fun jack skellington PJs from here:

The first one has some nice things, but they don't ship to Europe (and are ultra expensive with the exchange rate) alas.

The second one is giving me a headache!

I have a thing for proper red tartan pyjamas (I now own several pairs), but you only ever seem to be able to find them at Christmas. I really don't understand people who make pyjamas... There's a real niche in the marketplace waiting to be exploited and no one's filling it!!

[bogwitch]

Tartan would involve colour! I might be traumatised!

I'm more of a cobbled together tank top and knickers sort, I tend to thrash and get tangled in nightdresses and PJs but I might have to share a room with my parents so I thought I'd better get something decent.

But you feel like a teddy bear! (I find red a really comforting colour - Freud would have a field day...)

And ah, I see the dilemma. Good luck!!

Especially if you don't shave your legs, I imagine.

Red is one of the two or three colours other than black I'll wear, but only in moderation (i.e. with black), otherwise I don't feel right.

Well, you could always buy designer nightwear...

Or black satin...

Or you could buy two-packs of bottoms and camisole tops, one of each pair coming in black.

I agree, though. Try and find a dressing gown in purple or black, for that matter. In any size.

Pah!

[bogwitch]

I was thinking under a tenner. :)

I have dressing gowns in purple and black, but one has a hole in it and is so long I trip over it, and the other is a bit short, but I couldn't find replacements. However, they do have a black, long one at Simply Be at the mo.

[bogwitch]

The satin ones are very nice actually, but they don't actually say 'staying in the same room as the parents'!

I doubt they'd look like that on me though.

[gillo]

Well, there's a two-pack of a red set and a navy set here, costs around a tenner per pair.

I use cheapo track suits in winter. And I actually found a summer set in a plum colour which fits me in M&S. Several seasons ago, but you have to make stuff last.

Why do they assume adult women need cutesy childish logos on their nightwear? Gah.

[evenstar_estel]

Is there an Old Navy in the UK? They would have something like what you're after. They usually have darker colours and non-cute patterns.

[bogwitch]

I don't think so.
