My US size is 16-18 depending on brand. I just find it interesting to flip between sizing when going international. I need some kind of clothing calculator. As long as it fits, I write it down and order that size again next time. :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518777 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 21:17:46 +0000 njw 1518777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Gaylene for the explanation; need to take another look now at which fabric I want in pjs'.</p> <p>Update I looked at &nbsp;Boden but only saw printed, I would prefer dark colored solids for the bottom(s) and happy to do brighter color or prints for the top(s).</p> <p>I know both Nautica and R. Lauren have the type of item I am seeking but the price is way over my budgeted amount.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518773 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 21:11:25 +0000 Gaylene 1518773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you find your cotton bottoms, but just to set the record straight, Modal and Tencel are actually 50% more absorptive than cotton, much smoother to the touch (think silk instead of cotton) and able to maintain their softness through multiple wash cycles since soap residue doesn't stick to the fibre's ultra smooth surface. The ultra smooth surface of the fibre also prevents bacterial buildup much better than cotton. These anti-microbial, ultra-absorptive properties, along with the lightweight softness, are why Modal and Tencel have become so popular for technical gear and underwear. People who have sensitive skin often find Modal and Tencel much easier to wear than cotton.</p> <p>In addition, there are also many who consider the newer manufacturing techniques make Modal and Tencel a more environmentally friendly choice than regular cotton, which uses some rather nasty pesticides. Organic cotton is good, but it does come at a higher price point. </p> <p>Of course, sleepwear is a very personal choice, but I don't think it's right to lump Modal and Tencel in with synthetics like polyester and nylon. Its properties are quite different </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518770 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 21:03:35 +0000 Daria 1518770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Author Linda - in UK sizes or US? Boden I usually wear one size larger (in US sizes) than in American retailers. Maybe it's just me though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518741 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 20:16:19 +0000 Author Linda 1518741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Boden pajama bottoms and pants, I order a size 14. Which I find rather flattering because in U.S. sizes I wear a 16-18. Land's End is 18. Eileen Fisher is an L for me. I'm a curvy gal. Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518665 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 18:18:24 +0000 njw 1518665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura-I think the reason I don't want Modal is I want something that really "breathes" and keeps me cool at night</p> <p>Author Linda-How does Boden sizing run? &nbsp;I always think I might not fit into their items...I would need an XL</p> <p>Also thanks to the person who suggested I look in the Men's dept., might do that. &nbsp;</p> <p>Will ck out &nbsp;everyone's suggestions, thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518658 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 17:55:52 +0000 Daria 1518658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to add that organic cotton made me think of Hanna Andersson. It's primarily kids store but they sell women's clothes as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518653 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 17:23:42 +0000 deb 1518653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get mine at Old Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518642 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 16:47:20 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1518642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is up with all the modal haters on this forum? I love my modal pjs.</p> <p>Lands End might be another good source for cotton. Vermont Country Store, but they might just have nightgowns in the women's section. Garnet Hill has nice organic cotton pj sets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518639 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 16:41:18 +0000 Author Linda 1518639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my Boden pajama bottoms. Pretty, 100% cotton, and substantial enough to be good for lounging also. Currently $33 on sale. I've worn mine for over a year and they still look like new. Though the description says machine wash and air dry, I throw mine in the dryer. They come through just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518628 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 15:49:01 +0000 Daria 1518628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LLbean has some cotton options (see example in my finds).<br />I should warn you however that my pair ripped within a year. Not the quality I would expect, given they are not exactly cheap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518593 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 13:48:36 +0000 kkards 1518593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try tjmaxx or marshall's, i usually have good luck there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518580 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 12:59:48 +0000 crutcher 1518580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just received two pair of Target capri pj pants...I absolutely love them...They are soft and easy to wear...I have been washing one so I will always have one...Hope this helps... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518578 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 12:56:10 +0000 Helen11 1518578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi njw. Is it worth having a look in the men's section? (Assuming you'd fit a size there) You might be more likely to find something plain and without added exotic fibres. Which part of the world are you in? (I'm new here) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cotton-pj-bottoms#post-1518564 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 12:13:20 +0000 njw 1518564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My beloved Target super comfy Target pj pants have totally worn out. &nbsp;I am desperate to replace them. &nbsp;Went to our Target yesterday and every single one had "model" in them which I do not want. &nbsp;I just want plain (no print) navy or black, etc. Any suggestions on where I might find new ones? &nbsp;Hope to stay under $20-25.00 </p>
