Dreamtime PJ
By Nikki and Imogen
Design I liked the pattern on the pyjamas. Imogen would have preferred something like flowers or hearts or spots but I think the pattern was classic and elegant. In terms of cut – perfect. I loved the gathering at the cuffs (pretty and fantastic for pushing the sleeves up for suppertime toast and hot chocolates). Also love the drawstring waist – prettier than straight elastic. Fabric This was the standout for me – the fabric is DIVINE. So soft and feels so high quality. Makes you know that you are paying for a superior product. I honestly felt good dressing Imogen in her pyjamas and took extra effort with rubbing in her moisturizer and made a real ritual out of her bathtime. And they wash like a DREAM. No creases, no shrinkage, soft-as-butter – AMAZING!! Sizing Imogen is average height for a four year old girl and slightly below average weight. The pyjamas fitted her very well in regard to both length and ‘roominess’. If I were shopping in a boutique I may be tempted to buy her a size 5 for longevity as I think the size 4 will (sadly) be outgrown by Spring. Washability Sorry, got ahead of myself on this topic. The pyjamas washed beautifully. Imogen has worn them pretty much non-stop and they are still in-shape, soft and look brand new. Top marks. Value I think the pyjamas are priced well for the quality. Obviously the market you are targeting are interested in high quality, organic materials and the market price should reflect this. I would buy these pyjamas at this price BUT they would be her ‘special’ set that I would use to show her off in when we had night-time visitors or on event nights such as birthdays!!! I believe that the price asked is representative of products such as yours. |

Sweetie Pie Nightie
By Natasha
Design
Love it. When it is worn, it has a very sweet old fashioned look to it.
Makes me think Victorain lace and billowy white curtains. Yet at the
same time the colored dot pattern adds a bit of a modern twist without
appearing incongruous. Loose and comfortable to wear. Actually pleased
both myself and my 8 year old as well (which is difficult!).
Fabric Very high quality, thick, soft cotton. Quite stunning really. Sizing
Generous fit with plenty of growing room on my size 8 daughter.
Washability The
sleepwear washed very well. Would probably be shown off to its best
advantage after ironing, but we don't bother ironing sleepwear and it
does come out fine if you just make sure to hang it when wet. It is not
too scrunched up or uncomfortable like that. No color runs or color
fade so far. No shrinkage. Material still feels crisp and thick like
new. Value
Is a little more than I would usually pay for sleepwear but
it is certainly a high quality item so I think the price is probably
justified. We have had the item for a month or so (and quite a few
washes) and it still looks like new, so I do think it would last well
and would be able to be passed down to more than one child and still be
in very good shape. If you bought big, the loose design and elasticized
sleeve cuffs mean you could probably get a good few years wear out of
it per child too. So I guess if you look at it like that the price is
quite reasonable. Love the website. Thrilled to finally find organic and fair trade clothing items in sizes older than 2 years! You have a lovely selection of great designers. |

Sleeptime PJ
By Meg
Design
My daughter has worn these pj's every night since we received them - She is besotted with them. What
a great design! The top is adorable enough in itself as a nightie, but
with the pants the combination is just so practical as well as
beautiful.
Fabric
You just know that the material they're made of is of the highest quality as it feels amazing next to the skin. My daughter often gets hot and sweaty in her other pj's but absolutely not with these. They keep her both cool AND warm. Sizing The sizing is spot on. Even
though my daughter is really tall for her age, the fit was perfect due
to the A-line top and three quarter length pants design. Washability
When they
need cleaning I have to wash and dry them in the same day so that she
can wear them again that same night! They wash beautifully. Even though
the tag said not to put them in the dryer, I did (oops!). Yet, they
came out even softer, were wrinkle-free and most importantly, did not
shrink. Value
I'll be honest - they are on the pricey side for a pair of
jarmies but having actually tried them, I think they are excellent
value for money. I have a younger daughter also and I just know she
will be wearing these pj's in time, and they will still look as good as
they do now. This is not the case with other pyjamas I have bought from
a large, well- known clothing store. I wish they came in my size! Would matching mother—and—daughter pyjamas be so awful ?!?! |

Cutie Pie
By Brooke
Design:
I loved the design of these PJs! They are cute and girly, but quite modern and funky too. Fabric:
The fabric feels gorgeous - the top is beautiful and soft, while the pants are a great quality. Sizing:
The PJs also seem to be very true to size, with a size 4 fitting my (reasonably tall and slim) just 4 year old perfectly. Washability:
They washed well and haven't faded or shrunk with quite a few weeks of use so far. Value:
I think the price of these is more than I'd usually pay for children's PJs, mainly because they grow out of them so quickly and are rarely seen by others, however they are definitely far superior in quality to the department store bought sleepwear my daughter usually wears. General Comments: Overall, I'd highly recommend these PJs. They are fantastic quality and look good, whilst also appealing to my fussy daughter! |
