Women's Plus Size Satin Pajamas
From LoveToKnow Lingerie
Women's plus size satin pajamas come in an array of colors and styles perfect for sweet slumber.
About Satin Sleepwear
Satin sleepwear offers a silky smooth feel that is comfortable and luxurious. Satin is made with threads of silk, nylon, or polyester, and the weaving technique used to create the fabric results in a high-gloss, shimmering appearance. Satin is a beloved choice for sleepwear because it offers comfort as well as beauty. It is also a lightweight material: another bonus for sleepwear. Satin pajamas and lingerie come in a range of men's and women's sizes and are available at many department stores.
Choosing Satin Pajamas for the Curvy Woman
There is a range of styles available in plus size satin pajamas, and what you choose will depend upon the climate you live in as well as your personal temperature and sleep preferences. While satin is lightweight, some women prefer not to have their arms covered at night, especially in warmer temperatures. Some styles of plus size sleepwear that are popular include:
Pant and Shirt Sets
Pant and shirt sets are popular for plus size satin and sateen sleepwear. The pants are typically pull-on styles with elasticized waists or drawstrings for comfort. Shirt styles have greater variation, although the majority of styles are button-down looks. Long and short-sleeved sets are available. Shirt styles include:
- Pretty, flattering V-necks
- Menswear-inspired collared shirts
- Mandarin collar shirts
- V-neck tops without buttons
- Kimono-style tops
- Peasant-blouse style pajama shirts
- Slit-sleeved tops
Short Sets
Women's plus size satin pajamas also come in shorts sets. Like satin pants, shorts usually have elastic or drawstring for the waist. The aforementioned styles may be available as well as:
Satin Nightgowns
Nothing says sexy like a satin nightgown! Satin gowns are a great buy for curvy women--sultry tops accentuate your assets while the flowing gown hides flaws, making you look like nothing short of a goddess! Plus size gowns are available in both long and short chemise styles. They may be sold with, or have available for separate purchase, matching robes that can go over the gown.
Satin Sleep Shirts
Still sexy, but more casual, satin sleep shirts are comfortable and cute. They come in both long and short-sleeved styles. V-neck and scoop neck styles are popular
Where to Buy
Plus size satin sleepwear is available at a number of department stores, including JC Penney and Nordstrom. You can also shop at brick-and-mortar or online women's clothing stores such as:
Prices vary on the style, season, and manufacturer, mainly in the range of thirty-five to one hundred dollars.
Top Picks in Women's Plus Size Satin Pajamas
What does LoveToKnow Lingerie love when it comes to plus size satin pj's? While Generous Fashions' Candy Cloud Satin Sleepshirt sure looks comfy, we're not giving it many points for style. Check out the following for pieces high in both style and comfort:
- The Floral Desire Sleep Top and matching Crop Sleep Pants available from Avenue are adorable. The empire waist and satin are wonderfully alluring, and the floral design is pretty without being too girly.
- The two-piece plus size satin set with rhinestones from Just My Size also rates high in style and comfort. The creamy ivory or rich black is offset by the rhinestone buttons perfectly, and the simplistic, flowing style is just right for any night of the week. The V-neck style flatters and slims.
- This Satin Lace pajama set from Roamans, available in sizes 14 to 40, offers an exquisite feminine look. The romance of the combination is offset by the rich turquoise color, and accomplishes a sense of elegance and flirty fun at the same time.
You don't have to settle for dowdy satin sleepwear when there are plenty of stylish options. Sexy, bold, styles for the larger woman continue to emerge that redefine style. Don't be tempted to stick with the same styles--you may surprise yourself and love what you see in different pajama styles.
Caring for Satin PJ's
Many satin pajamas can be laundered easily at home by washing on the gentle cycle and tumbling on the lowest dryer setting. As with any sleepwear or lingerie, however, be sure to check the manufacturers' instructions for the particular piece or set before cleaning.
