Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Super Soft Shrink-Free Button Front Pajama Set

I bought this pajama set for my daughter for Christmas, we just received it today. She loves the softness of the material and the overall style. However, the sleeves and bottoms are too long, even in extra small, and the waistband is a bit too loose. It would also be nice to have a bigger selection of colors. She likes them but is not crazy about them, so they may be going back.

I didn't read the product description closely enough. There's more modal and spandex in these PJs than I realized. In fact, when I ordered them, I think the product name stressed the "organic cotton" aspect more so than it does now. In any case, these definitely feel more like a knit or blend than a cotton. They are a little clingy and sleek-feeling. Not a big deal, just not what I had been expecting (a more crisp cotton).

Love the fabric and the feel, however the top is a little snug.

Nice design and fit. The texture of the cloth feels so many made, would've preferred cotton.

I wish the PJ's came in petite. The sleeves and legs are really long for me.

I bought these and they are soft and wash well. Not in petite so I had to hem arms and legs. But WHY does a waistband on pjs need to be 2" thick elastic? I'm trying to find a way to get rid of it.

Nice fabric and style but the waistband really lacks the stretch needed for comfort. Def needs softer, more pajama like elastic.

I spoke with a representative who assured me that these pajamas were all cotton. But when they arrived, I saw that a good part of them were made of "Modal". They looked beautiful, but I wanted ~95% cotton with a little stretch. I did it even remove them from the packaging. Did not try them on.

Not holding up well to cold water washing with some fraying

I bought these jammies when they were still available in petites. Unfortunately, LL Bean has cut back drastically on the availability of petite choices including this item. Do they really think shorter people disappeared. Please bring back this item in petites!!!

Love love the fabric and the pants fit perfectly. However I had to sew the placket closed because the top gapped at each button. I'm not over endowed and wear a medium comfortably so I don't understand the problem. Would love more, but not worth it.

These pajamas are comfortable, fit well (the medium is a bit long for me at 5'6" so I fold over the waistband), and were warm enough but not too warm with flannel sheets. However, after just two seasons of wear, the pajamas are faded and the fabric is wearing out and becoming see-through. It's unfortunate that the fabric isn't of higher quality to last longer than just a couple winters of wear.

I loved these pajamas when I first got them. But after just ONE wash, they were way too short on me! I am not a tall woman at 5'6", but I want my pajamas to be long enough so that they don't come up to mid-shin when I sit down!

The pajamas are very comfortable! However, it wasn't until last week that I used them for the first time and one leg had several small holes in it...

Fabric was wonderful but I returned this PJ Set. Pants were about 4 inches too long and I found the large waste band uncomfortable. There was no petite size available.

These are not shrink free. They fit great before I washed them. Now, not as great. They'll still work, but I'd rather have them looser.

The pj's have a nice styling and love the navy color. The fabric feels nice and the cut is good. I absolutely loved them when I tried on before cutting off tags and washing. The tag says machine wash cold and tumble dry low. I machine washed cold and hung dry but still got some shrinkage. Not a huge amount, but certainly they are not "no shrink". Glad I didn't put them in the dryer as that may have caused more shrinking. If they lived up to the no shrink claim, they would be 5 stars, but the shrinkage brought it down to 3.

These are so comfortable, soft cozy pajamas you got a love them EXCEPT for one thing, there's not enough material between the buttons as a lining so that just bending your chest (not buxom ) causes large gaps. Even though the top is actually perfectly sized. I think the reason for this problem is because the part that has the buttons on it has a trim and the part with the button holes also has a trim so it doesn't lie flat. It's very annoying I can't see why a designer would make that mistake. Obviously if you put a trim on the part that has the buttons the trim is going to not allow everything to lie flat. Even I who doesn't so knows that To L.L. Bean designers; why do you do such things to ruin your products. I'm keeping it because it's absolutely luscious to wear but that is 100% annoyance.

I gave these a try , hoping the fabric blend would suit me . But I need to stay away from fabric with modal in it ( Rayon ). They appeared to be made well , but the stretchy feeling of the fabric felt less than luxurious to me . I did return them and bought some 100 percent pima cotton PJ's elsewhere .

OK

I ordered a pair of these same pajamas in October and loved them. So, I ordered this second pair in November and they were on backorder which was fine. Got them, tucked them away in a drawer and just got them out to wear recently. Pants are about 2 inches shorter than first pair. Not happy about that. Top fits just like first pair.

I just received the pajamas and tried them on. The fabric is wonderfully soft and stretchy--just what I wanted. The top was nice. However the waistband was uncomfortable. It was too wide and too stiff to work with the drawstring. Also the rise was too low. Would like this fabric in a pajama that came up to the natural waist and had a narrower elastic band with a drawstring. Sadly I'm returning them.

I loved the style of these cotton blend pajamas and they looked great in the product photos. I ordered the large because I like loose fitting bed clothes. I planned to substitute a tee shirt on top and use the pajama top more as a bed jacket, less cumbersome than a full robe. The pink color is a nice medium toned pink-plum. However, the knit fabric is oddly slimy and slippery. This would not necessarily be a deal breaker because perhaps the texture of the knit fabric would improve after washing. Unfortunately, these pajamas don't come in petite sizing and both the arms and the legs were way too long for me. The arms were down to my fingertips and the pants were several inches too long for my 29" inseam. I returned this item.

These were too large. The top was large, which I could work with, but the bottoms were RIDICULOUSLY long on me - I was stepping on almost 2 inches of fabric with them hiked up to my belly button. I could go down to a XS, but since there doesn't seem to be a petite version, I'm very doubtful that they'd fit. The fabric felt amazing, so I'm very disappointed. I've had this issue a lot, where the smallest L.L.Bean size is too big on me. There are girls a lot smaller than me out there, so I see this as a big issue.

I bought these PJs last year, wore them once and did not like the plastic feel of the synthetic fabric. I had to donate them. In years past LL Bean sold this same style PJs but 100% cotton and they were wonderful. Please bring them back for those of us who appreciate natural fabrics.
