Carolyn Pajamas Pattern

Description

Designed for chic lounging, the Carolyn Pajamas are thoughtfully tailored and supremely comfortable.

The Carolyn top features a classic notched collar, curved hem and breast pocket with three sleeve options. For a matching pajama set, choose between a straight-legged pant (with or without cuff) or a cuffed short. Both pants and shorts feature an elasticized waist, pockets and a faux fly. Personalize Carolyn by adding contrasting piping details for an elegant finish.
