Sweet Dreams are Made of This...

OUR TOP 12 ECO FRIENDLY LINGERIE AND PAJAMA PICKS, PLUS 2 MORE FROM THE UK

by Bonny Osterhage

 

When asked what she wore to bed, Marilyn Monroe once answered, “Why, Chanel No. 5, of course!”  You can’t get more organic than sleeping in the buff, but if you prefer something that leaves more to the imagination, we have rounded up a dozen of the sexiest, comfiest, sweetest and (in some cases) most practical pajamas and lingerie on the organic market. Sure we love your oversized organic tee shirt but seriously, why sacrifice style just because you’re sleeping? Besides, you never know who might show up in your dreams!

Eileen Fisher Organic Cotton Nightgown
Green Queen Eileen Fisher offers a nightgown that could double as a dress. The tank-style gown is made from organic cotton jersey and features a v-neck and Fisher’s signature ruching.

This utterly feminine, sweet camisole and boy short panty set is made with a super soft cream organic cotton fabric with white embroidered flowers and is trimmed in white stretch lace.

Organic Style’s Bed of Roses Slip Nightie
If you can’t sleep ON a bed on roses sleep IN a bed of roses. The Bed of Roses Slip Nightie from Organic Style is, in a word, pretty. Delicate buttons on the bodice and a lovely pink floral print are a throwback to simpler times where summer evenings were spent sipping lemonade on the veranda. Perhaps it is because the gown is made from repurposed and reclaimed materials. Decide for yourself at www.organicstyle.com.
