Favorite "comfy" sleepware?

roseb441...@aol.comnospam (Roseb441702)
Now of course this is when there's not a man in sight and you just want to be
comfortable.
Mine are the big fluffy bed shoes –I'd even settle for the "bunny" slippers.
But my most comfortable is wearing my poor worn–out terry shirt over my long
nightgown. I have never been much for the 2 piece pajama type sleepwear.

Well, man or no man, I vote for long silk nightgowns with spaghetti straps.
August Silk is a terrific line, you can find them discounted (I've gotten mine
in Filene's Basement and Sym's in NYC), and they're cold water washable.

Some sort of pristine white cotton Eileen West nightgown with pintucks and a
drawstring ribbon through the bodice. Makes you feel like a Jane Austen
character, which, depending on your mood, can be a good thing. If I were
traveling, though, I'd go with a short August silk slip–nightgown since they
take up no space at all in a suitcase..

T–shirts. I've been sleeping in men's Tall/XXL tshirts and jerseys for
a hun'ert years. Buy them specifically for that purpose, 3–in–a–pack.

Well, I don't worry about the no man in sight thing, but I like to wear one of
Brian's shirts.

I have a ton of large Humane Society T–shirts, and this pair of silk boxers
I bought on sale at VS. Since breaking up with the BF this has been my
standard bedtime gear. I can't stand long pants to sleep in.. I always love
to wear them around the house but kick them off before actually getting into
bed.

Me too. They're all I wear, all year round. I must have about 12 of them, and
since they last forever I really never need to buy anymore (but I will, no
doubt, because they're so cute).

Another vote here for these. I probably have something like 15 at
this point since I always get 1–2 during the Annual Sale for Women and
Children. And yep, even the "old" ones are still useable.

Old fleece sweats in winter.
In Spring and Autumn, long t shirts
In Summer, a pair of underpants and a stretchy crop top/sports bra (can't
sleep in nothing... I get anxious about what happens if there is an
emergency and I have to run out in the street)

A song I learned as a boy from a depraved uncle, sung to the tune of "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic":
She wears her pink pajamas in the Summer when it's hot;
She wears her woolen nightie in the Winter when it's not;
And sometimes in the Summer time & sometimes in the Fall
She jumps between the sheets with nothing on at all.
[Chorus:]
Glory, glory for the Summer & the Fall [tre volte]
When she jumps between the sheets with nothing on at all!

ancient pink nylon gown, floorlength, choirboy sleeves, scoop neck –
the smocking disappeared yrs. ago – this garment is indestructible.
travels well, takes up so little space.
there are times tho I like the two piece short sets in a stretchy
cotton knit.
in winter, a knee length flannel gown with long sleeves.

About five years ago I got some stretch velour/velvet
PJs from VS and they have lasted through many
wearings. They are warm and comfty and my very
favorite. Oh, they weren't sold as jammies but as
loungewear.

I remember that song from Guides... we only ever sang a version of it with
a chorus that went:
Oh Sir Roger do not touch me,
Oh Sir Roger do not touch me
Oh Sir Roger do not touch me,
As she lay beneath the lily white sheets with nothing on at all.
And every time you sang that chorus you had to drop one word from the end of
the "Oh Sir Roger" line, leaving the same amount of silent beats before
starting the next line.
The darndest things amuse 11 year old girls.

They amuse other people, too. Here is part of John Aubrey's (1625–1697)
brief life of Sir Walter Raleigh:
"He loved a wench well; & one time getting up one of the Mayds of
Honour up against a tree in a Wood ('twas his first Lady) who seemed
at first boarding to be somewhat fearfull of her Honour, & modest, she
cryed, sweet Sir Walter, what do you me ask? Will you undoe me? Nay,
sweet Sir Walter! Sweet Sir Walter! Sir Walter! At last, as the
danger & the pleasure at the same time grew higher, she cryed in the
extasey, Swisser Swatter Swisser Swatter." [Spelling is Aubrey's.]
This anecdote went the rounds (thanks to Sir Walter himself, probably), &
found its way into a catch composed by Henry Purcell:
Sir Walter enjoying his damsel one night,
He tickled & pleas'd her to so great a delight,
That she could not contain t'ward the end of the matter,
But in rapture cried out,
O sweet Sir Walter! O sweet Sir Walter! O sweet Sir, sweet Sir Walter!
O switter swatter switter swatter....
It was recorded by the Deller Consort years ago & is a delightful piece. I
think it would have been fun if one had been able to hear the Girl Guides
singing Purcell by the fire.

I usually wear the ON shorts/tank top sets or ON cotton lounge pants
with an ON $5 tee (or any other tee that someone brings me from insert
place here). Inexpensive and tres comfy.
