Designed for lounging and sleeping, the Carolyn Pyjamas are tailored and supremely comfortable.

The Carolyn jammy top features a notched collar, curved hem and breast pocket and comes with three sleeve options. To match the top, you can choose straight-legged trousers (with or without a cuff) or cuffed shorts. Both pants and shorts feature a comfy elasticised waist, pockets and a faux fly. If you would like a little more of a challenge, you could customise your garments by adding contrasting piping details for an even more elegant finish.

The pattern is available in sizes 0-20 or 14-32. You can choose the pattern size when you book

These garments are made from light to medium-weight woven fabrics, such as cotton flannel, linen mix, quilting cottons, shirtings, lawns, double gauze, rayon Challis, silk crepe or charmeuse.

• How to make sharp lapels with notch features
• How to create a faux fly
