Looking for big girl cotton summer PJs size 8-10-12. Suggestions?

We love the Carters PJs and have used them exclusively for years, but most of theirs stop at size 7. :crying: Is there anything nice for big girls in that same price range? We need a bunch.

Hanna Andersson has wonderful pjs. At the outlets, you can sometimes find them for $15/pair.

Signed up for emails and they sent me 20% off and free shipping at $50, so that makes them $12 each and free shipping if we order at least 5 pairs. Is that okay? Can we return to store if they don't fit? how does the fit compare to crazy 8's clothes or Carters PJs? I find Crazy 8 runs a bit small in clothes (e.g. tees), but I haven't tried their PJs.

Gymboree is usually a little bigger than Crazy 8 (and better sewn.) If they don't fit you can return in-store.

I use gymboree forums to find out when the sales are coming up this past Thursday the red balloon sale started and they had a rack of Pajamas under $7 in store and then I used a coupon.

Good to know. Thanks! I put in the order online. I hope their shipping doesn't really take 10 business days. I did find a couple sets for $6.99 - 20%, although they might be too big now, but worth saving for next year.

We got a bunch from the Children's Place outlet recently. They had sets that were 2 tops and 2 shorts and other sets that were a top, shorts, and pants.

Thanks. Unfortunately, no outlets around here. Hopefully the gymborees I ordered work out well.

Received our Gymboree PJs quickly and they're very nice and so adorable. I'd recommend them too!

In case anyone else was trying to figure out the sizing ... I found the 8s work for DD who is outgrowing some of her Carters 6s and size 10 work for DD who is still wearing but out of growing room in her Carters 7. They have growing room, expect that the sleeves appear a little snugger than I would like to see in something new, but hopefully they stretch well enough to fit for at least a year.

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations! It's such a relief to find something so nice that works and has a store close enough by too.

I usually just pick up from the Children's Place regular store near the end of the season. They're usually $8-$10. You just have to read labels as they're not always 100% cotton. Other places I keep an eye on include: Target, Landsend.com, and OldNavy.com. I love Hanna Andersson, but they're not inexpensive.
