Cotton nightgowns: The holy grail of children's sleepwear
For as long as my oldest daughter has refused to wear pajamas, I've been on a search for a cotton nightgown. And if you've got a little one like mine, then you know that they are pretty much impossible to find. So I was thrilled to discover that the cotton nightgowns I found while browsing at Mini Boden are exactly what I've been looking for since, oh, 2006. These long-sleeved nighties are sweet and simple, featuring an empire waist and absolutely no licensed characters anywhere. I'm sure my daughter would pick the pink hearts, but I'm secretly willing her to choose the blue flowers (pictured). Either way, I'm just happy to know that these nightgowns going to hold up better than what I've been seeing in the chain stores, and they'll last through to when my next daughter starts swearing off PJs. Knowing her, that will probably be tomorrow. -Kristen The girl's cotton nightgowns from Mini Boden are available in sizes 2-14. Whoo!
