I like to lounge in my PJs, but don't want them to look like PJs. Carole Hochman has some nice options, but if only the bottoms were solid and the tops printed they would look more like a lounge set. Her sets all seem to printed bottoms. The printed bottoms make them look too much like PJs to me.

I agree with you. While I won't wear anything else to bed but Carole's pajamas, I wish they came with some plain bottoms. A while ago, there was a set with one print and one plain bottom and a waffle top. The top wasn't great--stiffened up in the wash, but the bottoms were terrific.

I like the sets with the jackets and a set with jacket, tee, and two bottoms (print and plain) would be really useful. I like them for travel because I'm able to answer the door of a hotel room or cruise cabin and be decently covered, though comfy.

This is so funny......I was thinking the same thing! I would have loved that 3 piece set with a solid bottom. If I have to step outside, I don't want to look like I have on my pajamas.{#emotions_dlg.blushing}

I wear WWC bottoms as pjs. Very comfortable.

I agree! I have a set that has black and navy plaid bottoms (solid black top) that is fairly lounge-worthy.

The fabrics Carole uses are just fantastic. I wish D&Co. would use it in their pants and tops. I love her printed bottoms. I have a beautiful floral blue, green and white pair of bottoms on now, and they look like regular pants. Very casual of course.

I have is disagree with some of you. I have several CH pj sets, and I think the cotton/poly mix is terrible. I have not really worn them that much, so it is not like they are worn out. They are flimsy, not soft (especially the print pieces), attract dog hair and are clingy. I won't buy any more.

I like her pajamas but I do think there is a difference in quality from what she sells at QVC vs. other department stores.

I wish she would do some SOLID lounge/pj sets. I really would like some solid sets with short sleeved tees and yoga pants that are solid.

I like her pjs but some of the prints are so silly and juvenile! I am really over floral and stripes and conversational/whimsical prints.

I agree. Not everyone wants to wear undergarments with their loungewear. For us fuller busted middle age women, printed tops help disguise what gravity has done over the years. Also, heaven help you if it is cold. Solid tops hide NOTHING, even with a jacket over it.

I have only ever purchased the 100% cotton pieces. Liked two pink floral smocked tops/bottoms and a printed V neck set. I have been fairly happy with these, but can understand that these would be more versatile if the bottoms were solid. Pants need elastic, drawstring and pockets.

Perhaps the cotton/poly blends are acceptable for "at home" wear and not sleeping? I don't know...
