My daughter is very small for her age (4) however this gorgeous nightie will last her at least 2 seasons which is just wonderful!!
The nightie washed well and the fabric is beautiful and soft.
At $49.95 the nightie is more expensive than I would normally pay for pyjamas however sometimes it is nice to spoil my gorgeous girl.
The style of the nightie is beautiful - very traditional which is rare these days. Thank you so much this nightie will definitely be treasured!

Design:
Looove the design, its definitely a 'girly' nightie to suit my 'girly' daughter.
Fabric:
The fabric feels divine, it feels quite silky.
Sizing:
We got a size 6 for my daughter who is just turning 5. She is average build & maybe a bit tall for her age. The nightie fits well with plenty of room to last.
Washability:
It washed really well. As its been worn every night since we received it, it has been washed a lot & still looks new. We had a late night pantry incident where a bottle of olive oil somehow was spilt all over the nightie (and my daughter, and the pantry!!). It washed out easily with no special treatment required.
Value:
The nightie is at the high end of my price budget for sleepwear. It is very good quality & beautiful to look at & wear, so I would purchase another one.
We noticed the sales tag and I liked the part about sending it back when we have finished with it so it can be donated to needy children in India. My daughter however was alarmed at the thought of someone else wearing her nightie, she's still to young to totally understand.
The internet photos dont do the garment justice. It is soooo much better in real life.

The design is fantastic!! Love the long sleeve of the nightie which is perfect for my daughter who suffers from excema and tends to scratch herself in her sleep and wake up. Easy to wear design - love it!
My husband actually commented that he could see the nightdress lasting for "generations" the quality of the cotton was so good. The best quality cotton I have discovered.
Its also very washable - wash and wear quality. Washes and drys very well. Given the outstanding quality of the garment I think the price for the nightie is more than reasonable. Other brands I buy will last one season before starting to fade/loose elasticity/ become rough
The quality of product is probably the best I have encounted in children's wear. Congratulations and well done - fan for life here!

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!).
Very high quality, thick, soft cotton. Quite stunning really.
Generous fit with plenty of growing room on my size 8 daughter.
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.
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.
Preferred sales channel:
Would you buy sleepwear like this online or would you prefer to buy it at a boutique.
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.

Design:
Do you like the design? It is oh so gorgeous. Definitely reminiscent of my childhhood, and looks really cute on my 3 year old daughter.
Fabric:
Does the fabric feel good and does it appear to be of high quality?
The fabric feels great! Very soft and smooth but quite thick.
Sizing:
Did the sleepwear fit your daughter well? Was it too big or two small? If it didn't fit well please describe your daughter's shape and where it needs adjusting.
It does fit very well! Although we got a size 3, and she's almost 4 and quite tall for her age (in mostly size 4's already). So i think the next size up would give us more wear out of it, especially around the shoulders. I think that's the mum in me.. thinking about growing room.
Washability:
Did the sleepwear wash well? Yes. We've washed it about 6 times already, and it looks brand new. Seriously.
Value:
The nightie is priced at $49.95 and the PJs from $55.95-$59.95. Do these prices represent good value? What price would you be prepared to pay for them?
It's more than what I'd normally pay for a nightie, but it is very good quality, and organic. Now that I've seen it and felt it, I will buy another one when she goes up a size. My husband even said the first night we had it in the wash.. we need 2 of these!
General Comments:
Is there anything else you would like to share with us about the sleepwear, our website or anything else?
Just love the nightie! My daughter has wanted to wear it everynight since we got it. And before that she was in PJ shorts and a shirt. So really different for her to sleep in. But she loves it!
