Carole Hochman - NEW set of 2 sleepshirts

ALL the color combos/designs are gorgeous! I especially love the 'sunrise', but the price stopped me dead in my tracks.

Now mind you, I don't live in a cave and know prices have been going up on everything nowadays. However, IMO, a $25-$30 price increase on a set of cotton sleepshirts is huge. When Amy presented them last night they were at the featured price of about $62...still too steep for me!

Although I'm in no need of any sleepshirts, I'm not gonna lie...I'm still tempted. I'm glad I thought ahead and went back in late 2019 (when they were at a great/lower clearance price) and bought a few sets - a couple of sizes smaller since I had just started the journey of losing weight at the time (Sept 2018).

Just for a price comparison, here's a thread I started on the CH set of 2 sleepshirts offered back in 2019...

Carole Hochman items at QVC are extremely high in price. I buy my items at Costco or Boscov's where they are more affordable.

Last year I got two sets of sleep shirts with matching robes at Costco for about $15 a set and two of their four piece pj sets for about the same price.

Recently, I got two four-piece pj sets at Costco for under $15 each. Everything is 100% cotton and great quality. Costco is still selling the four-piece sets on line, but they are now $22...the sale price is gone, but they are still very affordable. You can get them without being a member.

If you wear pj's and want 100% cotton, I highly recommend them. You get long pants and shorts and a tank and a tee shirt. They are well made, first quality and a bargain at at $5.25 a piece.

@Carmie I've seen what is offered online at Costco and none of the options/selections/styles interest me. I'm sure the info will help others. I think you mentioned this info on another thread as well.

Additionally, I don't shop at Costco...or any club/membership retailers.

I think the $38 you’re referring to in the old thread was a discounted price. I went back through my purchase history and found that I paid $42 and change in March 2019. I can’t be sure, but I really think that was discounted from something closer to $50. While the price did go up, it was really nice like $10 to $15.

On the other hand, I’ve been wearing that set of nightshirts for 2 years and they’re still in great shape. They’re comfortable and long enough to cover my behind on my 5’10” frame which isn’t always easy to find.

The $62 price did give me pause, but I ordered the yellow. (I’m plus size and Costco doesn’t carry my size so that’s not a helpful suggestion.)

This reminded me of a meme that a friend of mine posted on her FB page yesterday:

Too pricey for me. I bought a couple of nightshirts from Target a few months ago, and spent about 15 each, and they wear and wash up great, and are very comfortable.....

Re: Carole Hochman - NEW set of 2 sleepshirts

RollTide2008 — Tue, 11 May 2021 18:28:22 GMT

I just checked Boscov’s web site. The plus size Hochman nightshirts are $44 on sale for $17 and change. They are 60/40 cotton poly blend. They website does not give me garment measurements. Without a bust measurement and the length, I don’t know if this will work for me.

@RollTide2008 Yes, it was a sale price at $38 and the regular price was about $42-45. That is still about a $25 difference and about a $30+ difference with sale/clearance.

I mentioned that in my OP/click on link to the other thread. The clearance price was around $32 when I went back and got smaller sizes later that year.

That was a pricey set, but I invested in it. Hope they fit! I have so many CH sets and nightgowns that have lasted forever, so sometimes I decide to splurge.

Re: Carole Hochman - NEW set of 2 sleepshirts

Sooner — Tue, 11 May 2021 19:11:27 GMT

I love them and will order a set. Or two.

Prices are going up and inflation will be rampant. You can bank on it. You can look back and see historically why and I'm thinking we are headed there.

Better stop giving to Good Will and keep for Sooner!

At least what fits keep.

@mnmom @RollTide2008

Enjoy the new CH set! Post back once you get them!

I put the sleepshirt set in my wishlist. Hoping for a nice price drop w/FREE S&H...

I have to admit, that 'sunrise' set is calling my name...

@Sooner Which colors of the set do you have your eyes on?

You are so right about Goodwill. I can't imagine being at the start of our weight loss journey and not the end and having to deal with just starting to acquire a whole new wardrobe now. Who knows how long this inflation period will last. G-O-D forbid, we fall into a depression and the bottom falls out from under us...oy.

I ordered them for myself. I liked the sky blue and in the summer, I wear something like that after I shower. They appear to be long enough AND not see thru plus I liked the colors. I prefer a sleepshirt to pajamas in the summer.

I'm sure you are right that I could have found them elsewhere for less.

The set is cute but I wish they came in solid colors. I don't understand why all the cute sleep sets, especially 100% cotton ones come with crazy print bottoms. A solid color and they could be worn to run to mailbox, answer the door and not look like you're wearing sleepwear. Anyone else agree or is it only me?

@mspatmac

There are some nice sleep/pajama dresses on Lands' End. Many are 100% supima cotton, solids and pretty prints.

Costco carries sizes up to 3x. Is QVC offering sizes 4 and 5X?

@RollTide2008 I think I purchased the same set of nighties a few years ago. The prices for all things 100% cotton has gone sky high.

@Susan Louise Ha! I am keeping a wary eye to the future right now!

I ordered the blue and the pale pink. I wanted the yellow but was afraid it would be too bright. I'm not wild about the little prints, but it will be dark and I'll be asleep!

I got a print dress from them a month ago and sent it back because the print was wildly bright yellow. SO I am afraid of yellow right now!

Sorry, dude, but I've never seen larger than an extra large in my club in any brand. Right now on the Costco website, the only Hochman items are pajamas, which is not what we're discussing, and they also are only available to an extra large.
