Cotton nightgowns/where to find them

[Anonymous]

Sometimes they are called loungewear - I think to avoid the (stupid) pj requirements.

Some sleepwear made of cotton is nonetheless treated with flame retardants. You’ll see cotton sleepwear advertised as containing Proban, which is made from tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride, or THPC. Studies have shown low migration, but the chemical used in the process is associated with genetic abnormalities and damage to the liver, skin and nervous system. Securest is another name for Proban-treated fabric. If you see flame-resistant 100% cotton, then that cotton has flame retardants. If you don’t want flame retardants, then always look for the specific key phrases “must be snug fitting” and “not flame resistant.”

Mini Boden's products are made with Securest cotton.

SO GLAD somebody asked this, I've been shopping for cottony nightgowns (HAS to be nightgowns, she is going through an I hate PJ's phase) for a picky 4 year old and the poly ones at Target, Macy's and Child's Place aren't cutting it.

If it's for you, Victoria's secret has some pretty cotton nightgowns that aren't too trampish.
