Heart sleep set - bed jacket discontinued by Seven 'til Midnight - review by arewehavingfun?

This is a 2 piece pajama set with a short sleeve, button front top and matching long pants with a drawstring closure. The print is varying sized hearts in varying shades of pink on a black background. The fabric is a polyester/spandex blend (flammable) with a shiny satin finish. On the left side of the top is a patched on pocket trimmed in a solid pink satin. The waistband of the pants is a drawstring closure.

Seven 'til Midnight has not yet provided EF with a size chart, so we must guess at our size when ordering. I weigh 150 pounds, 5'3" tall, wear a size 12 and a 36D bra. I was waffling between a medium and large, and chose to order the large which turned out to be a good decision. The top fit well across the bust (I don't wear a bra under PJ's) and the buttons did not pull at all. The pants were a tad loose, but the drawstring stayed tied and held up the pants (there were no wardrobe malfunctions). The pants had nice wide legs and a long rise, so there was nothing creeping up my butt. These are good qualities in women's pajamas.

I thought that the short sleeves were too short. I would describe them as a longer "cap sleeve". Another couple of inches in length would have been perfect. I measured the inseam on the pants and it was 31"--too long for me, but a snip of the scissors and a quick hem and they were perfect (I made the measurement and adjustment after washing to allow for any shrinkage). If you are not handy and still need the pants shorter, they look really cute with the hem rolled up a couple of times. The buttons and button holes are evenly spaced and lined up correctly.

I do think that the construction of this garment could be better. I had to snip lots of threads and the finish of the seams and hems is not the best. You will see some pulling and gathering at the seams. My husband says I am overly fussy and maybe so, but for my money, I want my clothes to be finished at the factory, not at my home.

Care is a breeze. These are 100% washable and dryable. I pulled them out of the dryer, shook them, folded them and they were ready for the next wearing. You will need to use fabric softener because of the fabric's tendancy to cling to itself. If you forget the fabric softener, you have a couple of choices. Either spray with one of those commercial non cling sprays, or toss back in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet, and cycle on dry for 5 or so minutes, then remove immediately.

The fabric felt soft, and loose against my body. My husband also liked the feel of touching me through the material. Actually, when he ran his fingers around my breasts, the material tickled me (what fun it was). The sleeves were wide enough, and did not pull when I was in bed moving around to find a good position for sleeping (yes, sleep, not a euphamism for sex!). As has been my experience with satin clothing and sheets in the past, it is very easy to slide around on the bed or other flat surface. I find being mindful and moving slowly helps prevent sliding too far from where you want to be. The only other problem I have noticed about the satin is that in the cold weather, it seems that when you touch certain metals or other people, you can get a slight shock. This is not dangerous, but is a surprise and causes me to jump. I am sure you have felt the same sort of shock when opening a car door in the winter.

These are still comfortable and good looking but I will have to pack them away until the weather gets warmer. This material feels really cold and is not insulated enough for winter temperatures! But, when summer rolls around, so will these!
