Perfectly sized. Very soft and yummy feel. Very nicely made. One of those items that will become more treasured as years go by. The ONLY reason we returned it is it is a bit heavy to wear for pj's (we live in the south) and a bit snug for lounging. We prefer looser, baggier clothes for hanging around the house.
We purchased this item in the "berry" color for our daughter, working her second ski season in the Vail, Colorado area. She moved there in October 2011 and loves the area. When she opened up the gift, just prior to Christmas, she called us laughing and wondered what it was. When she put them on and figured out how warm and comfy they were she said "I'm never taking them off". Anyway, they were a "hit"!!!
I need to wear a variety of thermal underwear for the different kinds of outdoor activities that I do. I hunt, horseback ride, backpack, ski, snowshoe etc. Years ago I purchased the bottoms and separate wool tops and loved the warmth that they provided. When I saw that I could get a union suit of the same material and quality I decided to give them a try. This is a functional union suit and not your typical novelty type. Wearing panties with the union suit does not work if you plan to use the back bottom door which only has one button and works like a pair of men's boxers with an open fly to take care of business. I really like this suit and will use it for the outdoors or even as pj's.
I love the cotton layer inside, it's super comfy. I love that the rear is a buttoned flap, rather than a drop seat- which I had on other suits and it has dropped when I didn't want it to! (The rear flap is similar to the front of men's underwear, larger and with a button closure.) I stay very warm when I sleep with the window open.
My only complaint is all the buttons. I don't know if there is an answer to this other than: get used to using the rear flap. I'm not used to it and un-button to remove the suit to use the restroom; it's the one thing I'd change.
