Learn how to measure for silk pajamas and find the right size in Fleur du Mal's Silk Jacquard PJ set, with fit tips and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Measure your chest, waist, and inseam, then compare to the size chart—Fleur du Mal's Silk Jacquard PJ set runs relaxed, so size down if you prefer a trimmer fit.
Why fit matters in silk pajamas
Silk pajamas drape differently than cotton or flannel. A relaxed fit is intentional, but too loose can look sloppy, while too tight pulls at the seams and reduces comfort. The Silk Jacquard PJ top has a relaxed, drop shoulder fit, so the shoulder seam sits lower than your natural shoulder—this is by design, not a sizing error.
The matching pant uses a drawstring waist, which gives you flexibility. You can adjust the waist, but the length and rise are fixed, so focus on those measurements first.
Size up or down?
If you're between sizes, consider your preferred silhouette. The top's relaxed fit means you can often size down for a neater look without losing comfort. The pant's drawstring waist allows for some adjustment, but if you're between inseam lengths, size up and have them hemmed—silk can be altered by a tailor.
Remember, the model Nick is 6'0" and wears a size Small, while Kiana is 5'11" and wears a Medium. Use these as reference points, not rules.
Step-by-step sizing guide
- Measure your chest: Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level under your arms. Note the measurement in inches. Compare to the size chart; if you're between sizes, size down for a trimmer fit in the relaxed top.
- Measure your waist: Wrap the tape around your natural waistline, just above your belly button. Keep it snug but not tight. The drawstring waist can adjust up to about 2 inches, so focus on the hip measurement for the pant.
- Measure your inseam: Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle bone. Stand straight and keep the tape taut. If you're between lengths, size up and get them hemmed—silk can be altered without losing the finish.
- Check the rise: Sit down in the pants (if trying on) or measure the rise from the crotch seam to the waistband. The pant should sit at your natural waist, not too low or too high. If the rise feels too short, size up—a too-short rise is uncomfortable and can't be fixed by the drawstring.
- Compare and choose: Use your chest and inseam measurements to find your size on the Fleur du Mal size chart. If you're between sizes, decide based on your preferred fit: relaxed or more tailored. When in doubt, size down for the top (due to elastane) and size up for the pant (since it's 100% silk with no stretch).
Product details at a glance
- Silk Jacquard PJ Top: The Silk Jacquard PJ Top is made of 92% silk and 8% elastane, with a relaxed, drop shoulder fit and front button closure. The small amount of elastane adds stretch, so the top moves with you—keep that in mind when choosing between sizes.
Silk Jacquard PJ Top - Silk Jacquard PJ Pant: The Silk Jacquard PJ Pant is 100% silk with a drawstring waist and pocket detail. The drawstring allows waist adjustment, but since it's 100% silk, it has no stretch—make sure the hip and thigh measurements are comfortable.
