Here's what some of our customers have to say about our nighties!

January 9, 2007

Dear Dana,
  I started wearing my flannel nightie Christmas night & every night since. It is so warm & cozy, especially with all the dreadful weather we have had lately. Like my summer cotton nightie, this flannel one is so beautifully finished & washes like a dream. You were right, our cats know great flannel & love curling up with me when I am wearing it. Thanks for providing such an excellent product.

Dear Dana,

Received my beautiful Style E cotton nightie this Mon. A.M.,June 26th, which you shipped out on Fri. 23rd. That was really fast. I am thrilled with the quality of the cotton, sewing workmanship & exquisite presentation in the pine box. I am so happy you suggested I order size med. It fits perfectly. A really lovely gift from my husband, for our 34th Anniversary July 01., he is thrilled with it also. We look forward to ordering a flannel nightie in the near future, for my Dec. Birthday or Christmas present.
What a wonderful treat to receive something in the mail sight unseen, which far exceeds ones expectations.
 

Thanks Dana.

Sincerely, Carol Burr

This is the second brrrisk (!) Canadian winter that is being made so much cosier, thanks to the flannel nightie I received last Christmas. Your garments are the best,  the kind of quality many of us thought was a thing of the past. And Canadian-made to boot!

Thanks so much

Dana,

Thank you so much for my beautiful flannel nightie. It is the most amazing nightgown I have ever owned. For anyone who loves flannel, this would make an amazing gift. I have purchased one for my mother and mother-in-law. I can hardly wait until they open their Xmas gifts. Thanks again. I will be ordering another one soon!

Loved the nightie!!!!!!!!
My mother has long talked about no company making good old heavy flannel nighties anymore. I found your company on the web and was delighted! I ordered a nightie for my mother and was blown away by the quality. She loved it and was so surprised and overjoyed! My mother has always gone out of her way to find us kids unique and wonderful gifts. I was so delighted to be able to finally do the same for her. Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen some of your products from a friend and says she will never sleep in anything else. What a great commend. Could you send me a catalogue if you have any?

Hello from the West Coast. I'm originally from Sauble Beach where winters are cold. While the winters here in Squamish are cold too, they are mostly a damp cold! I've been looking all over the Vancouver area for a nightgown like yours. I took to looking on the web and was about to call off my search when I came upon your site. I immediately placed my order. It's the kind of nightie I can curl up in with a good book in front of a fire. And so wait ever-so-patiently to try on my new purchase.

October 18, 2004

Hi Dana,

My computer at home is unavailable (renovating our 110 year old house again!!) so will just send you a quick note from work. I got my nightie Friday and love it too! Thanks so much.

I have just ordered my second nightie from you and can't wait to receive it. It has been two years since I first purchased a lovely white nightie. Quite frankly, I felt a tinge of royalty running through my veins the minute I put it on. Thank you for providing such a gorgeous product, and thanks for making it available to me no matter where I live.....

Sincerely Rita F.

I bought the "B" style flannel nightie last year for my wife's birthday. Her reaction was 'off the scale'... I have never seen her so happy with a gift! She immediately called all her friends and modeled it for our neighbors. I am buying the 'Down East Blue Plaid' this year.

Love my nightie!!!!! I truly believe you are providing a product that has not been available for a long, long time.... a flannel nightie like the one my auntie used to make for me.... please, please keep up the good work.

Hello Dana

My wife Hazel received her 1870 flannel nightie birthday gift this morning and again exclaimed with delight. I heard her say: "I love it... I love it... I love it" and a little later, after putting it on for the day, she said that she would like to wear it out to dinner at a restaurant tonight, but then decided she didn't quite have that much courage. About an hour after opening the present at the table, the gift box found another use... please see the attached photo. Feel free to use it any way you wish.

Regards,

Ed

Hi. I got my nightie today. I tried it on, it is wonderful, and I don't want to take it off even though it arrived at 10 a.m. But I really must get re-dressed. I cannot go into Owen Sound in my nightie, no matter how nice it is. The workmanship is impressive, the packaging was lovely, the service extremely prompt, and it is sooo warm and cozy. What more can I say? Just thanks.

I am pleased as punch with my new flannel and cotton nighties. The workmanship is superb. Everything has been beautifully finished. I will be telling all my friends about these terrific gowns and the great service I received.

Hello there: What a treat to go to your site just minutes away from where I live. During this cold and bleak winter it is comforting to know that the warmth and down home country traditions are still alive. There is nothing like a warm flannel nightie this time of year especially"

I love my nightie!

From a confirmed believer and user of these nighties I want to add that your nightie will last and look great after way more than 15 washings.
Try over 200. I got mine in 1995 as a gift after the birth of my daughter and I'm still wearing it!

This is a wonderful gift for any woman that loves comfort, cosiness and beauty as well as top quality.

Dear Dana:

I just wanted to let you know that I received my nightie yesterday and it is lovely! I've never been able to find a nightgown that was long enough.....this one touches the floor! The box it came is is very cute, I'm sure I can find another use for it and even the tissue paper came in handy my cat played with it for hours!

Thank you for the wonderful nightie!

I bought a cotton nightie for my wife in the early summer and she just loved it. Loved it so much that we purchased another one for my mother-in-law as a birthday gift. The nighties have been a huge hit. I know what they want for Christmas! Thanks for making me a hero with the most important ladies in my life!

I just had to let you know how much I love my nightie!!! I have worn it almost every night since receiving it, and now that the snow is falling I know I'm going to be toasty warm. It washes up like a dream. We had lots of company last weekend, and they all thought my nightie was lovely. I have passed on your website to them all.

Thanks again so much. I wish you much success.

Yours sincerely,

Thanks so much -

      I can't tell you how much I love slipping into my nightie each night.  I've always been a fan of flannel for the cold weather (my family calls me the "flannie freak") but I must say, I've never felt a flannel as soft as yours.  You've made my Christmas shopping so easy now - I'm ordering nighties for all of the girls on my list.  

P.S.  Love the gift box it comes in - CLASSY! CLASSY! CLASSY!-  Keep up the good work.

Thanks to you I am a hero!! My wife loves her flannel nightgown. Are there particular washing and drying instructions? Would love to hear from you. I wouldn't be surprised if we populate the whole of Port Colborne with your products. Thanks for a wonderful product. The box is an inspired bit of 'wrapping'.

Kind regards,
Ron Farrington
