I bought these for my wife as a Christmas present. It is a tradition in our family to give each other pajamas with a Christmas theme from our childhood on the night before Christmas. I loved these for her and I ordered her the size that I do every year. She had not gained any weight and, in fact, lost quite a bit due to working multiple jobs/other circumstances. These still did not fit comfortably and were still somewhat tight although they were as cute as I thought they would be.
