I was thumbing through my new Harriet Carter catalog today and this is what I found:

Moisture Absorbing Nightgown
keeps you cool, dry and comfortable all night long. Breathable, roomy and moisture-wicking sleepwear provides superior ventilation while absorbing perspiration from the skin. Perfect for hot summer nights or for relief from night sweats and hot flashes. Hand-washable; dries quickly on a hanger. Imported.

Mind you, it is "roomy" and comes in one color.

I am not sure why but this just struck me as funny. I cannot imagine waking up soaked as I do and staying in what I was wearing!!!!!!!!! EEEEEwwwwwwwwwww.

Hi Stitch,
I saw this post and had to add a little something. Don't know how many of you have a SOMA store near you but they have some sleepwear like this as well. I just bought a beautiful long gown and robe made of material which wicks off the moisture as well. The gown I just bought is quite romantic (my husband likes it quite a lot!) and has bamboo in it. I know it sounds strange but it's very soft and stretchy too so quite comfortable. Something about the bamboo fibers that helps with the sweating issues.

Im afraid I'll wake up looking like sponge bob

HAH! To cheer myself up I bought some vintage nightgowns from the 1930's, real movie star-ish looking, not low v-neck Fredericks of Hollywood, just gorgeous "pretty" long gowns. I bet I look like dork in them, but will do my best to "swan around" the house in them ... this nightgown sounds much more realistic however.
But I don't feel very realistic right now ....

Hi Jan:

It sounds wonderful but I was worried about myself smelling if I stayed in that nightgown. I have trouble with that with the pajamas I wear now so I was thinking it is ok if takes the sweat away but what about the odor!

i hear you stitch--the female peri/meno adult version of the wet baby diaper. ewwww.
