ourlol Posted February 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ladies, A bit of an odd question! I want to get some fun nightdresses made for some friends who are cruise addicts. I'm struggling to decide what style to opt for e.g. one with sleeves or one with thin straps? Would you mind telling me which style YOU would prefer. Many thanks Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 4, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Do you even know if they WEAR nightclothes??? Or maybe they wear pjs! My preference would be sleeveless or nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson4Me Posted February 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Short sleeve for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henepup Posted February 4, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Sleeveless or with thin straps for me, I sweat at night. Its more about whats around my neck than my arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted February 4, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I need to have my shoulders covered. Actually, I prefer pjs. Not that you asked, but my DH likes to sleep with his arm around my waist (I like it, too) and feel skin. If I wear a nightgown, then it's all bunched up and my legs are bare.

ourlol Posted February 4, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks everyone for your comments and votes. Whilst these nightdresses will be perfectly functional and of a high spec, they really are a novelty item so even if they don't normally wear anything... I'm hoping they will raise a smile. It's a close run thing by the looks of things. I promise to let you know what style I eventually choose. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachieLnnn Posted February 4, 2008 #7 Share Posted February 4, 2008 What's the age group? I would go for the spaghetti straps - I'm 26 - but I could see my mother, for example, definitely wanting the sleeves. JMO, hope that helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaseyoz Posted February 4, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Laura. I am also going to vote for a t shirt and shorts Pj set rather than a nighty. Made out of the right material the second one could easily double as a beach dress also. I think if your friends are older or of a larger size, the first one would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourlol Posted February 4, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Perhaps it would be appropriate at this point to mention that the text which will appear around a life buoy logo says "Does my AFT look big in this?". Alternatively, I was thinking of putting "Onboard and Adored"... but that would mean a second poll. :D It's getting late here in the UK, so I look forward to seeing how the poll looks in the morning. Thanks again. Laura PS: I'm coming up to 50 but wear strappy nightdresses on vacation, but short sleeves at home. No wonder I can't make up my mind.

princessmargaret Posted February 5, 2008 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Definitely got the the "Does my AFT look big in this?" Too cute for words on the spaghetti strap nightdress. In my opinion, laughter is always the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted February 5, 2008 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Well, I'm a bit over 50 and my vote would be the spaghetti straps. Many women in my age group would vote for them, hot flashes and all. I'm most comfortable in a pair of very soft shorts and a tank top. Lands End has great soft tanks that I wear as a pajama top and I love their pajama shorts, especially since they sell them seperate. I'd not do a nightie, those end up riding up and twisting in my sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofingPrincess Posted February 5, 2008 #12 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The one on the left (short sleeves) in a just-above-the-knees length is what I generally wear, even on a cruise - or perhaps especially on a cruise, since the cabin has A/C and my room at home does not! I don't like cold shoulders when I'm sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMinx Posted February 5, 2008 #13 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Sleeveless for me :D I hate it when sleeves 'bunch up' when you're trying to sleep. Very uncomfy :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted February 5, 2008 #14 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I am most comfy in a tee with shorts. Rarely wear nightgowns, since they ride up. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycaveat Posted February 5, 2008 #15 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I like both and both would also make really cute bathing suit cover ups! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liner Posted February 6, 2008 #16 Share Posted February 6, 2008 my vote: short sleeves and Does this make my AFT look big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
