CAROLE HOCHMAN PAJAMA QUESTION

I have never purchased Carole Hochman pajamas.  The measurements make me think they run large.  Do any of you who purchase these items think they run large, or are they pretty true to size?  Thanks in advance for any info.

I buy many of her pjs. I like them, I buy true to my size. However don't put them in the dryer till dry or you will have crop pants.

Haven't purchased her PJs in years, but they used to run true to size, and definitely not large.  However....   this may have changed since many companies are employing the vanity sizing and making things larger.

I literally have hundreds of CH and I have always bought my true size (med) and they were always perfect............that is untill now! It seems either I have shrunk or Carol has begun making them bigger so now I always have to buy small.

 

BTW,i have never taken any special precautions washing /drying them and have never had a problem with shrinking

For me, buying her "sets" is difficult ... the tops fit, bottoms run larger (that's just me perhaps).

I have several of her sets from QVC and from Boscov’s Department store .(where they are priced better). I have noticed that the pants “ grow” while I am wearing them and look baggy. They do not seem to ever go back  to their original size and shape.

I have many of her pajamas as well as Stan Herman. Carol H. runs a generous true to size. I line dry most things and then just air dry/fluff to soften them a bit. They wear well and hold their color.

It depends on the material. The gowns I have that are cotton have all shrunk. If you are getting a cotton item, consider sizing up or only washing in cold and hanging to dry.

 

If it's a poly blend, I would order true to size.
