loli sleep wear

[pegasusmaiden.livejournal.com]

Recently I have been catching the phrase "loli sleep wear" around the forums. I understand there are loli sleep wears found in the GLBs so they do exist. However, when some people post finds of potential loli-ables for day wear some would say "well be cute as sleep wear." Is that the nice way of saying "cute but not really loli-able for day wear." That is my feeling on the phrase or are lolis really willing to spend $70.00 plus for sleep wear, I would spend maybe $40 max for cute and comfortable set. Personally I would not spend that much on sleeping clothes.

What is your take on loli sleep wear?

No one's really gonna see it, aside from yourself, and only for a small bit. If its really fancy, it seems a waste for it to be slept in and lied around in.

But, its really the person's choice. Some people feel better knowing they're sleeping in something cute XD

I just wear whatever's comfortable(*cough* goth loli wearing green PJ's with white kittes *cough*).

Erm, kitties*

I don't sleep in any clothes since I find it too uncomfortable (whatever the season, it's not as if it's insanely hot here.) So 'sleepwear' becomes whatever clothes I put on in the morning. I might throw on a nightie or a dressing gown or something. I don't really care what it looks like at that point.
However I have a few pretty nightdresses that I wear *as clothes*. So if sleepwear was around that was really nice, and quite decorative (i.e. loli sleepwear), I'd probably end up wearing it as day clothes anyway.

Actually, ^^; I had made private-post in my journal on lolita sleepwear that I was going to put up on this community about two weeks ago. I think bloomers and drawers can also be taken as sleepwear- if made out of the right materials. I'll probably post tonight... I did some quick designs and i was going to ask what the interest would be in purchasing a set.

And yes- you are right, spending $100 on sleep wear is just silly. ~_~

lol! 100 bucks for just pj's? thats insane...sleepwear has to be comfortable and like not so expensive during hols when i'm at home my pj's are my day clothes (at home!) as they are nice and soft plus i can't be bothered to get changed no guests or visitors XD and my pj's arn't loli...though have thought about loli pj's for my tech project/asignment for school but i thought it looked tacky...

I would not wear it.. just a too big t-shirt is good enough!
also I think my boyfriend would not like me dressup in bed hahaa..

No matter what temerature I just can't sleep naked. I've tried it on recommendation of friends, but i found it to be a horrible sensation. Normally I wear a simple t-shirt to bed. I would probably spend some money on sleepwear say up to € 20 for a set max. if it is something nice that I can hang around in, in the evening or morning.

If I ever start sewing clothes, sleepwear will probably be one of the first things I'll make. It seems to be an easy start, and if the stiching is a bit crooked it doesn't matter much. Good for practice.

30$ tops for my sleep wear spending . I think my ideal loli sleep wear is a soft light fabric, with maybe some ribbon on it ..chemise and bloomers realy..but pfh, i see ppl selling loli sleepwear for frakin 70$ and i think thats insaine . just because its "loli" doenst mean you ignore the fact that its still PAJAMAS! Go down to Kmart know how much you spend on a Pj set? 20$ lol.

I wear this (http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info/pid-4170.html) as pyjamas. It's airy and comfy, and I sometimes I wear these bloomers with it to hang around the house in. I don't have to worry about boyfriends or anything, so I can pretty much wear what I want to sleep in XD (http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info/cp-43_78_86/pid-2009.html) ()

I agree, I love the concept of lolita pyjamas (but not the price) so I decided to make some myself. The last project I got done before my sewing machine expired was a set of black and white gingham lolita pyjamas. Unfortunately, My digital camera is also broken, but I'm planning on posting them as soon as it is fixed. I've got some leftover fabric I was going to make a "mob cap" out of, but who knows when I'll have the money to buy a new sewing machine again?

[koneko-hime.livejournal.com]

I would purchase lolita sleepwear, but there's no way I would pay more for it as I would for normal sleepwear. I'd say no more than $25US, but more towards $15-20. I'd rather make it myself if it cost more than that.

[strawberry-yura.livejournal.com]

Though it would be extremely adorable to get some PJ's like the ones they have on Baby, paying more than just $40 would be ridiculous in my opinion. It's not entirely a waste if you have a significant other who'd probably enjoy the view...

[kitachan666.livejournal.com]

I've got a cute nightgown, from Wal-Mart of all places, that's a soft white fabric with little baby blue flowers all over it, about inch wide straps with a square neck line. It's really adorable, and I'm going to add some elastic to it to make a gathered bust. It was only about $13 and it's really good quality for the price.

I can see maybe spaning around $40 thought to get a cute top and matching bloomers made of a really soft fabric, but that's pushing it.

[kitachan666.livejournal.com]

The website doesn't have the one I own, but there's one cute thing:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4755512 This could be paired with a pair of bloomers to match

Alot of stores also sell pajama pants with matching camis in really cute prints. I saw some cherry and strawberry print pink ones at Sam's a few days ago, but for the life of me I could not find my size. ; ;

i will pay (and have) quite a bit for nice sleepwear, but i'm more of an aristo and lean toward satin and velvet, which never come cheap. i make a lot of my own things though and swan round the house in it (wearing under clothes in freezing winter or floaty cotton alone when summer gets too unbearable) so the expense is more easily justified

[pour-me-coffee.livejournal.com]

Price depends upon the sleepwear. If its something fancy obviously I'll pay more. But if its something simple I'd pay a much more reasonable amount. I think around $40 is fair for a two piece.

I generally wear just underpants and a tank top or t-shirt to bed. I live in pajamas tho so I'll wear around the apartment when friends/family are over or I'm sewing. So I like to have some cute pajamas around. Also Eron would think its adorable if I wore cute pajamas to bed.

I own loli sleepwear, but it's just for play. (ahem, not that kind of play) I dont' wear any pants all day unless I'm leaving the house.. which isn't that often, so I'd be hard pressed to wear some just to go to sleep. ^^

but then again, I own some black lips underthings so is that considered loli sleepewear... lingerie?

[makichi.livejournal.com]

Ha... I stick to underwear and tank tops. It's WAAAAYYY too hot in Texas to even THINK about Lolita sleep wear.

[aingli-deas.livejournal.com]

Good for the FT lolita I think. Some people want to wear it all the time. I'm working on the one sleep dress out of the gosurori that looks like a day dress but is nightwear. I'd spend 70$ if it were brand nightwear (more of course), like BtSSB for sure, but not for an off brand (I have spent a lot on hello kitty PJs though). My bf likes me to be cute, so it adds in the cuteness I think. And I spend a lot of my life in PJ's cause I work at home, and until that changes, I think loli PJ's are a great idea.

my thoughts

[redtonic.livejournal.com]

I can't afford clothes, so spending that much cash on stuff to sleep in is just... silly.

[elegant-michiru.livejournal.com]

I would just make my own PJs, I usually just sleep in a tank top with a shelf bra and the flanelette PJ pants that I made in grade 11 fashion class.

[geckochan.livejournal.com]

I agree with most people's thoughts that if you're spending a lot of money, you want people to *see* it. However, pajamas are s/thing many of us wear every day (uh, night), so if one can sew, or find a good deal, or just spend the money and treat themselves, I think it's cool - adding some extra beauty or fun to ordinary things we use everyday can make one feel pampered, it's nice ^_^ It's the same as why a single girl might still want to wear beautiful underwear.
All the same though, I sew, so it's not a big expense, and I switch between really pretty nighties or pjs and plain old tank tops.

bwaha! i dont sleep in any clothes!

although im totally pro lounge wear, i only dress up when i go outside, since i dont do alot of that i find it important to have something comfy to hang around in.

right now im wearing a non decorated poofy skirt with stretchy waistband, and a plain tanktop. i think thats ok.

what i would really like is a lolita bathrobe, i always put on my bathrobe when i get up, and while mine is comfy, i would really prefer something, more elegant.
i had this sort of button up gown thing with lace when i was young (i liked sleeping in that too) i think that would be appropiate.

most people really dislike wearing like seperate pants when they sleep though, so i think bloomers arent really sleepwear, unless you live in alaska.

I like loungewear/afterwear/whatever, but I don't waft about the house enough for it.
I'm pretty cheap about most of my clothes - more so with sleepwear, I wouldn't shell out more than £10. I'd feel odd wearing expensive or fancy things to bed, because tossing and turning would crease and crush the clothes/detail. I've got some (not loli) sleepwear stuff that I wear exclusively during the day, so I'd go beyond £10 if it could be pulled into a daywear outfit (max. probably £30-40).
I usually just go for cute soft vests and knickers* (yay Primark) or oversize t-shirts, the kind of ones you'd save for painting in - bad lazy lolita. For more loli sleepwear I'd rather make the garments myself - less structured should be quicker and easier to make, but these garments'd be pretty simple. More like this with narrower straps (http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info/pid-4170.html) than this (http://www.cosmates.jp/shop/product_info/pid-4170.html).
