These PJ's are everything I wanted in a PJ.  They are for my 93 year old mother and she has requirements for PJ's that I am happy to have been able to get for her.  1. They are soft and truly flannel as described.  2. They are roomy.  Why would PJ's be tight?  They wouldn't be comfortable.  and 3. They have the waist on the pants at the waist as described. I am very satisfied with my purchase.  I tried last year at various stores to get the PJ's to no avail.  Amazon had them!  I should have thought of them last year.
