Nightwear

Chantal Thomass Spring/Summer 09 Nightwear

by

In December, Mandolina showed you the Chantal Thomass Spring/Summer 09 collection. Today, I want to highlight the sleepwear from this collection!



Unfortunately, the website doesn’t list where to purchase these pieces online, l and I can’t find any US or UK websites that sell this nightwear. If anyone finds it, please share in the comments!

Update: Thanks to Isabelle GUYOT for mentioning in the comments that you can search for boutiques by clicking here. However, I still have not found any websites.

Cool Sets Wicking Nightwear

by

TLP highlighted Cool Sleepwear last year. They provide sleepwear options for wicking away night sweats.

Cool Sets is another company addressing the same market. The company is run by a group of women that are also members of the product line demographic. They have developed their exclusive CoolBalance® moisture wicking fabric. It helps keep you cool and dry when it’s hot and warm and dry when it’s cool. Our fabric is light to the touch, drapes beautifully and gives you the luxurious look and feel of high fashion. Time and again our customers say Cool Sets keeps you cooler than cotton or silk pajamas, and feel great against your skin.

The company supplies to stockists and offers a company store as well. Above are two fabric choices for the front snap pyjama tank. It is $44 and can be combined with the PJ short or the Bloomer short. The choices are Floral Dream and Pink Dot.

These are the wicking chemise nightgown. This is Red Passion and Champagne colour options. Either is $55.

Hip and Sassy Pajamas from “uppseedaisees”

by

Here is a really cute collection of casual wear or pajamas from a company in Alabama, USA. The “uppseedaisees” full line includes short pajama sets called “briefees” and “skivees”, short nightees or chemises, pant sets with long-sleeved tops, capri sets with choice of tank tops, cap-sleeved tops, or long-sleeved v-neck tops, bed jackets and short robes.

Two collections, “Bright Future” and “Silver Lining” are the same styling but with a different color mix. As one would expect from the name, Bright Future, the pieces include bold hues and accents in Peechy Keen, Coming Up Roses, Smooth Sailing, and In The Limelight. Sizes range from X-small to X-large or zero through sixteen.

Silver Lining is the pastel version of the two collections with Sapphire Mist, Glistening Green, Blue Glass, and Orchid Ice. Pieces are not sold individually but rather in predetermined sets. But with everything in similar colors, it is easy to mix and match when one buys more than one set or style.

The latest collection is titled “Girls Night Out”, and it’s my favorite.

Sets may be purchased online at upseedaisees’ own website or offline in various boutiques throughout the US.
