(WARNING:  Frank Discussion of Female Figure)

I wanted to like these pajamas. The color is beautiful, the Pj's are well-made, and most importantly to me, they come in petite sizes so not-overly-tall women can wear them without hemming the sleeves and pants. Sadly, although the pajamas fit nicely in length, they were much too snug in the bust. I am not overly busty, and was surprised by the gap in the placket of buttons. (I am a D to a DD)

Even more distressing was the way that the pajamas made me look. I am not a man, and don't look like a man at all, but these pajamas made me look and feel a mannish. They squished the girls, made it look like I had no waist at all, and covered my hips, giving me a square figure, which really isn't what I want from nightwear. I have an hourglass figure, have worked hard to maintain it, and don't want nightwear that so totally hides my shape.

The tightness in the bust made the top of these pajamas slightly uncomfortable, although they fit well everywhere else. I especially appreciated the fact that they needed no hemming, and that the elastic waist on the bottoms was very soft, not the stiff and uncomfortable elastic I sometimes encounter. The fabric is beautiful - warm and brushed, so it will feel as if you've owned these forever, right from the very first wearing. There was no shrinkage that I could find when they were washed and dried. If not for my previous two concerns, I would call these pajamas perfect.

If you have a less curvy figure, these would be perfect for you, especially if you want warm and cozy PJs. Perhaps someone who shares your bed steals the covers, and you don't want to be blue with cold?  These are great for that. If you are curvy as well as petite, I highly recommend the Karen Neuberger nightgowns and sleepshirts. They are comfy, warm and soft, without hiding your curves.
