Challenge: Front-Buttoning "House Dress" Nightgown in Jersey Tshirt Material?

A friend just had extensive abdominal surgery and anything touching her middle is painful. I asked if a button-down nightgown would work best for her, and she said it would be a wonderful solution for her. She requested that nightgown be made of t-shirt material. In other words, super soft against her delicate and damaged tummy.

When I was growing up, older ladies used to wear housedresses. They were nightgowns that buttoned all the way up the front, from hem to neck.

I'm not having much luck finding something like this. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to order them very soon and have them FedEx'd to me immediately.

it looks like flannel though.

If my cousin was closer I could ask her to make what I think you want, but she lives 3,000 miles away. I know she could probably whip up what you need though she is a whiz on the machine.

@hobbit: Even though it is flannel (she's sooo cold all the time), that gown would have worked, but it is a small, and I need a large. I have a friend who, like your cousin, is a whiz on the sewing machine. (I think her machine cost about as much as a car.) If I can't find anything on my own, I may ask her to sew a couple for me.

@hobbit: Found that house dresses are also called dusters. Once I read that, I remembered that term.

@debbiedunlap: I think a flannel duster may be exactly what you are looking for. Here are a few choices:

I do quite a bit of online shopping for my neighbor who has health problems (scleroderma is just one) and she needs very soft fabrics also but she cannot manage snaps or buttons very well...I try to find her items in Jersey Knit for the warmer months and flannel in the wintertime.

Good Luck, Bless-you and Stay strong!!

Sorry to be getting back so late with my thanks. I've been sitting by sick beds the majority of the day.

Thank you all SOOO much for your help. You've found several nighties that should work well for my friend. Thank you all for helping make a tough time a little more comfortable for her.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
