Just been watching Loose Women, apparently winceyette nighties are flying off the shelves as we speak

[Bobbisox]

and why?
Because they were worn in Dowton Abbey,
anyone here own a one, with the long sleeves and little collar..:-0)
own up

[McMouse]

Haven't personally got one, but have rummaged around in a few as a youngster.

[Bobbisox]

[Bbbananas]

I used to love winceyette sheets... those candy-striped ones.

[Bobbisox]

[Bbbananas]

I have a full-length white cotton nightie with lace at the collar and cuffs and loads of white embroidery..........I daren't wear it as it was a present and is worth too much.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha-ha-ha
what dry pish!

[mccfluff]

nope, sorry

[Bobbisox]

don't apologise fluff, invest in one I say..

have you got it put away in layers of tissue craft?

[Bbbananas]

My BF, who has strange tastes (well, he's with me for one thing....) once bought me a white cotton long sleeved, high necked, long nightie from Past Times. It billowed out and made me look like a Victorian ghost. I played a trick on my daughter one night while she was in the loo - I stood outside the door on the landing, nightie billowing, my arms spread and when she came through the door went "Whooooooooooooo"....... poor kid screamed & nearly wet herself, I laughed that much I almost fell backwards down the stairs...

We laugh about it now. Oh I do miss her......... :-)

[Bobbisox]

awww I bet you do pet, mine has lost her keys in the snow, car keys, surgery keys and house keys together, silly lass, I was sick of telling her to separate them

[mccfluff]

no thanks i'll stick with my pjs

[Bobbisox]

well ok :-)

[daffy654]

I can't sleep in a nightie of any type Bobbi, they tangle around my legs whilst i'm asleep. I much prefer pyjamas. :)

[bibblebub]

Didn't Winceyette Nightie do the weather on TV-AM?

[Bobbisox]

I don't have one of these daffy..just seems very guillable of women who want to buy them because they were worn in a costume drama..LOL

[Bobbisox]

yes she did bibble Wynciette Nightie Willis I think her name was

[craft1948]

I have bobbi...........I think if I wore it I'd look a bit Miss Havershamish....

[Bobbisox]

seriously tho' craft , it must be worth something by the sound of it
