My mom wants to buy her the clothes that are impossible to take off, but my grams gets upset when she can’t do something or figuring something out. The dementia is kind of new she always remembers me and you can see she gets upset if she can’t. Do you think this will cause my grams stress and make her aggravated if she can’t figure out how to remove her clothes?

Some people find wearing flannel at night may find it extremely warm... better to use a simple light weight cotton. Or use regular sheets instead of flannel sheets. Or less covers.
If a person find it cold not wearing flannel or sleeping on flannel, wearing cotton socks can help.
I'd have thought the new style of clothes would be worth a try. If your grandmother turns out to be more upset by them than she is about winding up starkers in the middle of the night, you can always revert to her usual nightwear.
Is your mother caring for your grandmother alone in the home? How long has she been coping with broken nights?
