For as long as my oldest daughter has refused to wear pajamas, Iโ€™ve been on a search for a cotton nightgown. And if youโ€™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 Iโ€™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.

Iโ€™m sure my daughter would pick the pink hearts, but Iโ€™m secretly willing her to choose the blue flowers (pictured). Either way, Iโ€™m just happy to know that these nightgowns going to hold up better than what Iโ€™ve been seeing in the chain stores, and theyโ€™ll last through to when my next daughter starts swearing off PJs. Knowing her, that will probably be tomorrow. -Kristen

The girlโ€™s cotton nightgowns from Mini Boden are available in sizes 2-14. Whoo!

  1. Can we talk about why pjโ€™s fabric must have fire safety standards? I understand when all of our parents used to smoke a personโ€™s clothes could catch on fire, but as long as we keep our kids away from open flames (flameless candles anyone?) canโ€™t we just make jams from cotton and flannel and do it for well under $38.00? Just wonderingโ€ฆ Otherwise these are totally darling, and impossible to find

  2. I love mini-Boden. These are beyond cute. This is definitely a grandma purchase.

  3. cute! thank you for reminding me to shop over there ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. I have seen these in the catalog many times and thought โ€œ38$ for pjโ€™s? Seriously?โ€ Well, when my daughter became nightgown obsessed and my search for non-polyester nightgowns turned up nul, I broke down and bought them. The nightgown is beyond amazing! Thick, soft material. When I say soft, I mean SOFT!! Totally worth the investment.
