Invest in Cotton for your best night's sleep - ever! 

Oh what I wouldn't give for a good night's sleep! I am sure there isn't a doctor's surgery in the country which doesn't hear those words at least once a day. If you're like me, as I got older, I often experienced some kind of sleep problem - if I managed to fall off to sleep then I was awake again in an hour or two. Add to that the increasingly frequent sweats - to be expected for women my age but no less upsetting - and even if I thought I'd had a reasonable night, I still didn't feel well-rested when I woke up in the morning.

Over the years I tried everything - aromatherapy essence on my pillow, meditation, milky drinks and long hot baths became favourite bedtime companions and I studiously avoided caffeine and alcohol whenever possible. But up until recently a really good night's sleep eluded me.

It was only when I was chatting to a friend (my favourite topic of the optimum time to go to bed and how many hours of sleep is normal) that the topic of what I wear in bed came up. She said she wouldn't dream of wearing anything other than pure cotton to bed and swears that its soft and cool feeling on her skin helps her sleep. A search of the internet brought up David Nieper, a leading nightwear and lingerie designer, who told me that cotton continues to be their customer's favourite choice. I selected a really pretty and feminine womens nightdress in 100 per cent lawn cotton which promised to be so beautifully soft I was guaranteed peaceful sleep and comfort all-night through.

And you know what, they were right! I have never slept so blissfully or felt so comfortable all night long. The cotton feels wonderfully soft next to my skin. On warm nights it stays cool to the touch but on cold nights also keeps me cosy and warm. It's not itchy or scratchy, is never prone to that awful clinginess you get from man made fibres and doesn't get any static electricity.

When I think about it now it's obvious that cotton is the perfect bedtime choice. It absorbs body moisture and evaporates it to the surrounding air, thus allowing your body its natural tendency to breathe - not only am I more comfortable in cotton, I'm healthier wearing it too!

If you don't believe me I urge you to try it yourself. David Nieper offers a range of really lovely pure ladies nightgowns or pyjamas and will even give you your money back if not delighted. So you've got nothing to lose and perhaps a few hours of sleep to gain.

What does your favourite bra say about you? 

What does your favourite bra say about you?

If you, like me, have a huge array of bras stuffed away in your lingerie drawer, determining which is your favourite bra may be quite difficult. We've all got at least one sports bra in there somewhere, whether we've ever set foot in sports hall or not! It will inevitably be a rather unflattering (and flattening) cotton number designed specifically to hoist you up and bind you in, so that (reputedly) you can jog, jump, lunge or jiggle to your heart's content!
Somewhere at the back of the drawer, there's bound to be a multiway bra too. Theoretically, you're supposed to be able to wear this bra as a halterneck, a crossover and a strapless style, so that you can look good in even the most daring little, black dress, but somehow, mine manages to make me look lumpy and frumpy no matter which way I wear it!
So which is your very favourite?
If you've chosen a balconette style as your favourite, then I think that it's safe to say that you're a true romantic! You're undoubtedly a Jane Austen fan and nothing can make you happier than a beautiful bouquet of hand-tied blooms.
Maybe you've selected a T-shirt bra as your favourite? In this case, you are very probably a 'no-frills, multitasking, ultra-efficient' type of gal who goes seamlessly! from the school run to the dinner party in one effortless stride.
Do you instead, veer towards a comfortable, full cup bra as your favourite? If so, you're positively practical but unquestionably demure and feminine too - all in all, a bit of a Miss Moneypenny type!
So where can you find quality, affordable bras in styles that truly fit? You might want to try http://www.davidnieper.com No matter what your style, their great site will become a favourite.

Behind the Scenes 

A top fashion designer house
Exclusivity because you order direct from the designer.

Each season my designers and I search the world for all the latest new fabrics and prints. A unique feature is that in many cases we can colour the new designs to our own specification.
In this way we can make outfits that will co-ordinate to perfection. As we do not supply retail shops but only individual customers direct, the collection you buy from us are exclusive, something that is really appreciated.

Our collections are made in England
Computer technology makes possible a wide range of sizes.

The most up to the minute computer grading technology makes it possible for us to grade styles into the widest range of sizes to suit every figure.
It also makes possible a perfect fit because the pattern is cut out by the computer which ensures the greatest accuracy possible. It is one of the reasons why customers compliment us on how nicely the garment they have bought fits their size.

Attention to detail is all important
Lingerie with lace applique is a particular skill

Some of my seamstresses have been with me since the beginning and are all very highly skilled. Here you see my son Christopher explaining how one piece of lace must fit round the curves on a body.
Our attention to detail is legendary, seams are invisibly sewn wherever possible. Laces such as this one will have been dyed to co-ordinate and then specially softened to be gentle on the most sensitive skin.

You will love the personal touch
You can be sure of superb quality

Every garment we make carries a ticket detailing the special instructions for washing and how to get the best from your purchase. A unique feature is that the principal seamstresses who have made your garment, sign their own initials on the ticket, so confident are they that the quality is of the highest standard.
'Made in England' has always been a hallmark for excellence and we do everything we can to keep up this tradition.

Personal service
Personal service is our speciality

Your order is monitored from start to finish. Our customer service team see every collection as soon as it is released from our design studios and are given detailed training on every garment. They really enjoy helping you to choose the right style, size and colour and will then trace and monitor your order as it progresses at the touch of a button. It's all part of the service from a Family Business.

World Delivery
We deliver all over the world

You can be sure of superb quality. Gift wrapping and personal messages are welcome. Once your garment has been made, it is carefully wrapped in soft tissue paper and packed in an individually made box, strong enough to travel to anywhere in the world. We specialise in gift wrapping and the inclusion of personal messages. Shopping from home is now so easy and risk free. We unconditionally guarantee your satisfaction with anything you purchase, and will refund or exchange an item without question.

Beautifully made clothing, delivered to your doorstep 

David Nieper has been designing elegant women's clothing at his studios in Derbyshire for over 30 years. All garments are fashioned with care, from top quality fabrics and are fully guaranteed. Our highly trained customer service operators will make

David Nieper Obviously, women like nightwear to be glamorous and to show off their figures in the best possible way, but they also want their nightdresses, robes and pyjamas to be comfortable. That's why recent research, undertaken by nightwear specialist David Nieper Ltd has revealed that the fibre of choice for women's nightwear is still pure, 100% cotton. Survey participants cited product quality and superior customer service as being of great importance when buying nightwear via mail order or the Internet, but stated that being able to buy elegant, comfortable, pure cotton nightwear was of paramount importance. Family run David Nieper Ltd manufactures and sells ladies nightwear and lingerie via mail order catalogues and their website, to a huge and loyal customer base throughout Europe. The inspiration for their ranges remains firmly at home in Derbyshire where David Nieper, the company founder, still plays an active role in the design of both the nightwear and catalogues. The majority of the David Nieper products are still made by skilled seamstresses in their Derbyshire workshops. "The fact that our nightdresses are made in Britain is important to our customers," confirms Managing Director Christopher Nieper, " we select our fabrics from the best available sources throughout Europe and cotton remains our most successful fibre." Many women found that cotton alleviated the symptoms of night sweating and allowed them to sleep more restfully.
