Out with the old...
These have been my winter nightgowns for 6 years.
Back then, I was thrilled to find them in the (retail) shop. I'd wondered if my only choices for nightwear I could breastfeed in were floral flannel or spendy specialist gear.
I give them full marks for accessibility and funky colour. Those numbers even sparkle!
But buttons have been pulled away by twiddly and ever-stronger little fingers, holes are gaping wider, and the fabric is so stretched that I hardly need to unbutton anymore - a bit chilly on the chest in wintertime!
They've been exposed to every bodily product you can name. They're good only for rags...
Hmmm. Maybe time for a family cloth experiment?!?!
In with the new... Serendipity sent me to search in a different local charity shop than my usual.
There, neatly hanging on the rack, were these three cutie-patooties in perfect condition...
My daughter's favourite is the one with the cats. (I predicted that, even though there was a pink one.)
DH thinks they look like the Sushi Cats; DS is not convinced.
Total price: $12
I think the old nightgowns that I bought retail cost me $15 each. And seemed cheap compared to other retail choices.
Why shop anywhere else?
