Carole Hochman Women's Printed Flannel Pajama Set

where do i even start? the positives. the flannel is very soft material, color is pretty, and the stitching is amazing. there is not a raw seam anywhere! i love the top. it's huge because i'm very petite and i bought a large because i want to sleep not wear it on a catwalk.the negative... the rise is insane. as i said, i'm petite, 90 pounds, and the waistband barely came over my hips. i spent two hours carefully ripping the seams of the double sewn in elastic, yuck, to discover there is only 22 inches of fabric from side to side at the top! in what universe is that a large? the back rise is 16 inches. it's 4 inches higher than the front rise of barely 12 inches. whoever designed this thing made it for a mannequin and i'm barely past being one. if it won't fit an anorexic under 32 inch hips person then who will it fit?i now have a lovely comfy pajama top for twenty dollars and tax... and some lavender flannel for my fabric stash i had not intended on buying. it might make a pillow slip or patch some old jeans.sewing ten starsfabric ten starsdesign and proportion -17 starsfinal rating 3 stars

I hesitated to purchase these after reading other reviews. When they arrived I tried them on before washing and was surprised at the softness of the flannel despite that they were a bit stiff. I'm a "mature" woman with a mature body to match, not quite a Plus Size. I ordered an XL after reading the sizing chart. I'm a size 18 in LLBean jeans and the bottoms of the PJs fit very comfortably. Waist band is fine, thigh and seat area are generous. I'm proportionatly sized up top and had no problem with the top fitting. My concern was the piping used around the collar, lapels and sleeves puckering after washing. I laundered this pair at least a half dozen times and haven't had a problem. I should mention I do wash the PJs on a delicate warm cycle and dry on a delicate cycle, then hang the jammies when still slightly damp. The instructions say to machine wash cold, gentle cycle, tumble dry low. I would definetly purchase another pair of these PJs.

I normally wear a small but I ordered a size up to medium. The *body* fit is fine but the length of the pant legs and sleeves are much shorter than I prefer. The pant leg could easily be another inch longer and the sleeve length at least 2 inches. When I bend my arms, the sleeves are just below my elbows. I probably would not purchase this again based on that alone. The quality of the fabric is great and they are very well made so if you don't mind the length you may pleased with these.

I love the feel of these flannel pj's! They are perfect! Thin and soft!

I love the way these look and fit. However, I really love cotton flannel because it's warm and cozy, yet it also breathes. These don't breathe and I'm continually feeling hot and uncomfortable because it's not freezing in my house. Even when I'm only do light chores....making my bed, etc. I get too hot in these. I'm really disappointed because they're really soft and I love the design and colors.

It is lovely and soft PJ's set, slightly larger fit than expected though. Would recommend, but if you have sensitive skin - certainly wash before first wear, as the fabric might feel a little rough.

i love this pjs so much that after purchasing my initial pair, i hunted for another just like them. they are a mid weight flannel and hold their shape well after numerous washes. i am 5' 6'' tall and the pant length is perfect for my 31/32'' inseam. lastly, the kitten pattern is adorable.

These pajamas are comfortable and wash well. I find the top a little boxy and loose, but I'm not sure that can be compensated for in a smaller size.
