We received a pair of these in a size four.
My daughter (a nightie fan) was utterly enamoured with the nightie-like top, while I liked the practicality of having pants underneath, particularly for colder nights. The fabric was simple and soft, and washed without fading or shrinking. The garments appear very well-finished, and I think this level of quality is worth spending money on.
I love the cornflowerblue website: being a country mouse, I do plenty of shopping online, and rely upon online boutiques such as this to be able to buy premium childrens' clothes. My favourite sleepwear when my children were little was Petit Bateau and Absorba, but both are difficult to source in Australia in larger sizes. A selection such as provided by cornflowerblue easily fills the space.
Thank you for providing quality childrenswear in traditional, beautiful designs. It can be so hard to find the sort of clothes we wore as children (which had that heirloom quality), and your products fit that ideal perfectly!

My daughter has worn these pj's every night since we received them - She is besotted with them.
What a great design! The top is adorable enough in itself as a nightie, but with the pants the combination is just so practical as well as beautiful.
You just know that the material they're made of is of the highest quality as it feels amazing next to the skin. My daughter often gets hot and sweaty in her other pj's but absolutely not with these. They keep her both cool AND warm.
The sizing is spot on. Even though my daughter is really tall for her age, the fit was perfect due to the A-line top and three quarter length pants design.
When they need cleaning I have to wash and dry them in the same day so that she can wear them again that same night! They wash beautifully. Even though the tag said not to put them in the dryer, I did (oops!). Yet, they came out even softer, were wrinkle-free and most importantly, did not shrink.
I'll be honest - they are on the pricey side for a pair of jarmies but having actually tried them, I think they are excellent value for money. I have a younger daughter also and I just know she will be wearing these pj's in time, and they will still look as good as they do now. This is not the case with other pyjamas I have bought from a large, well- known clothing store.
I wish they came in my size! Would matching mother—and—daughter pyjamas be so awful ?!?!

We were lucky to receive a pair of size 4 sleeptime PJ's.
We loved the fresh and clean design of these PJ's. The Fabric was brilliant - no complaints of scratching but very comfortable. Definitely a high quality finish garment.
The size 4 did seem a little too big however it means that my daughter will be able to wear them for a longer period of time i.e next winter too.
The sleepwear washed extremely well each time. This is a high quality garment that I am very happy to pay the asking price.
The other great thing that I loved about the sleepwear was the neckline - it didn't fall off little shoulders all the time! My daughter took to wearing just top to bed and the pants separately - 2 PJ's in one really.
A great, high quality item.

We were very fortunate to receive a pair of the Sleeptime PJ's in a Size 5.
They are simply the most beautiful pyjamas I've ever come across. The organic cotton is so incredibly soft, the tailoring and cut are perfect. The print is beautiful and the square neckline gorgeous. There is room to grow and stretch in, my daughter has not been overheated at all which is comforting.
What sets these pj's apart from so many others is the 2 piece kaftan-style. It really is two sets of pyjamas in one. My daughter wears the top as a nightie in bed (it is Autumn so the sleeve length is just perfect) and when she gets up in the morning when it is cooler she puts the trousers on. She has also worn just the trousers with a lovely organic cotton singlet.
I honestly can't fail this set, it is worth the price, the organic cotton is worlds apart from the usual pyjamas.
To know my daughter is clothed in environmentally friendly, ethically produced clothing is such a bonus, I can't recommend it enough. Thankyou Cornflower Blue for the beautiful pj's.
Now if only they came in grown up size!! :)
