I really like the 2 layer union suit. It seemed a tad bit large and was slightly bulky under my clothes, but was otherwise comfortable. It kept me warm without making me sweaty, which is a big plus for me when wearing layers. Not so sure I like the vertical back-flap though. Would rather it be horizontal.
I got a suit for my husband and one for myself, and we both love them. I am 5'5" and weigh about 150, and the medium fits fine. A small may have been ok too, as it is a bit roomy in the crotch area, but I was taking no chances with shrinking. On that note, I first just hung it to dry, but then got braver and dried it on the knit and delicate cycle with good results. I thought at first that it had shrunk a bit, but after wearing a few minutes, it stretched out again. I wear mine to bed and don't find it at all scratchy. And you really can use the back flap! Ladies, if you are looking for something figure flattering and sexy, this is not it. But if warm and cozy is what you are after, you will find it in this union suit!
I don't know if this is the supersize me direction our nation is going in, or the manufacturer's impression of what American bodies are but this Small was way too large on my girlfriend. She is small, but by no means petite, and this union suit was way too large to fit comfortably under any layers. It's really just a nice onesie for hanging out in the house, so this is not the end of the world. Perhaps they should consider making an XS or something.
I'll start with what I like: 1. very warm and comfy 2. thick fabric 3. nice as pajamas 4. great classic red color 5. comes out of the wash nicely Unfortunately, count me among those reviewers who are frustrated with both the ill-fitting backside and the strange looseness of the buttons. I am planning to sew snaps on the back side since that one button is really inadequate and never stays fastened. I have already sewed the buttonholes on the front tighter since they constantly come loose. This product cries out for a little redesign of the long one-button bottom and perhaps some snaps for all closures. But I did keep it and do wear it, just not as often as I'd like.
