Chances are you've seen reviews of Printfresh's colorful robes and pajamas on your social media pages. The textile brand founded in 2016 by husband and wife duo Amy and Leo Voloshin is known for its fun and unique prints that are incredibly popular among lifestyle influencers of all shapes and sizes. It's the perfect moment for Printfresh: the brand's aesthetic fits in effortlessly with the cottagecore, coastal grandma, and loungewear crazes. It's no wonder Printfresh has become one of the most beloved cozy brands on the internet.
Aside from its standout prints, the brand is also known for its size inclusivity. Printfresh's pajamas and robes are available in sizes XXS to 6X, with options for petites and tall in certain sizes. To see if the brand delivers on its promise of comfy and stylish loungewear for all sizes, we put several of its styles to the test on straight size and plus size testers. Read on to see how Printfresh pieces fit on two different body types, along with our thoughts on the look and feel of the designs. (Spoiler: we loved them so much that we named Printfresh a pick in our guide to the best robes for women.)
Printfresh robes
Printfresh Tiger Queen Robe Shop at Printfresh External link Arrow An arrow icon, indicating this redirects the user."Sally's impressions: This Tiger Queen print robe in the Jade color has come with me to several countries and cities over the past few months of conducting my Printfresh review. I not only love wearing it at home, I also find it to be a great space-saving alternative to pajamas and loungewear while traveling! I usually wear a size L so I got the L/XL size and it offers lots of coverage. I'm on the shorter side, and the robe hits me low on my calf.
I've also washed my Printfresh robe several times, and the color has neither bleeded nor faded, which was my primary concern because it's such a saturated green. If I weren't already married at the time of this Printfresh review, I definitely would have bought a bunch of these as gifts for my wedding party to get ready in! I also have to add, I love that these robes are sold as "all-gender" because there should be no limit to how we dress ourselves. If you love fun colors and bold prints and being comfy all the time, this robe is for you — no matter how you identify.
Lauren's impressions: I was most excited to review Printfresh's signature robe and it did not disappoint. I usually wear a 3X, so I opted for the 3X/4X robe in the Fruits de Mer print. This specific print is now discontinued, but the cut and shape are identical to all of Printfresh's current prints. The fit is perfect. At 5'11", most robes are too short for me, but the Printfresh robe hits right around my calves. It's roomy and comfortable, and when I sit down, there's still plenty of coverage.
I've worn this robe around the house, taken it on a girl's weekend, worn it to the beach and around the pool. I get endless compliments on it. In fact, some friends who were on the girl's weekend with me each ordered their own after trying on mine. It's rare to find a plus size robe that (1) actually fits, but (2) doesn't compromise on style or comfort. The Printfresh robe is the unicorn I've been looking for.

Printfresh short sleep sets
Printfresh x Paper & Pencil Co. Short Sleep Set, Floral Safari Shop at Printfresh External link Arrow An arrow icon, indicating this redirects the user."Sally's impressions: I have to admit, I chose Printfresh's Safari Cobalt set in part because I knew that if I accessorized it well with jewelry and espadrilles, I could get away with wearing it outside of the house. And I have! It's of course very comfy to sleep in, but I'm especially partial to how versatile the separates are. I've worn the top with jeans when going out to brunch, and I've worn the set unbuttoned over a bathing suit for days by the pool. I also find that when I tuck the shirt into the shorts, it looks like a little romper, which is fun to wear for errands or an outdoor lunch. Just note that the set wrinkles, so if you want to wear it out, you may need to iron the edges.
After reviewing Printfresh's long sleep sets and the short sets, I prefer to sleep in the shorts. There's no stretch in the material, but I sleep like a starfish so the pants can be a bit constricting. If you're an "active sleeper" (as I call myself), you might want to consider the shorts over the pants.
Lauren's impressions: I sleep hot, so shorts and a t-shirt are my go-to for bed, no matter the weather. Printfresh's short sleep set is comfortable, lightweight, and breathable; perfect for those of us who tend to overheat at night. I tried the set in my normal 3X and it was a little snugger than I prefer for pjs, and as Sally mentioned, there's not a ton of stretch to the material. If, like me, you prefer your pjs loose, I'd recommend sizing up. Unfortunately, the Meowing Mermaids print I reviewed (which features cats…as mermaids) is no longer available, but there are plenty of other fun prints to choose from.

Printfresh long sleep sets
Printfresh Long Sleep Set, Tiger Queen Shop at Printfresh External link Arrow An arrow icon, indicating this redirects the user."Sally's impressions: I loved the green Tiger Queen print so much that I also got the pants set in this print. As I mentioned with the shorts set, I love being able to wear the top separately with jeans, but I find myself not wanting to sleep as much in the pants set because there's no stretch in the material. Since I sleep with my legs stretched out, the pants can feel a bit restrictive. I've been lounging a lot in this set when I spend the day at home, though, because it feels a little more polished. I'm just over five feet tall, and I opted for the petite length which fit my legs perfectly!
Lauren's impressions: For the long sleep set, I chose to review a design from the Printfresh x Paper & Pencil Collection. The red and green colors are subtle enough that they can be worn year round, but I also thought they were festive enough to wear as holiday pjs, too. I don't know if there's such a thing as "formal pjs," but this set does feel polished and luxurious — definitely something I'd take on a vacation with friends.
I wanted to see how different sizes fit, so I sized up to a 4X in this set. Surprisingly, it didn't fit all that differently than the 3X, and was a big snug in the belly and hips. Again, I'd recommend sizing up in the pjs if you like a loose, roomy fit, since the material doesn't have a lot of stretch.

Printfresh dress
Printfresh x Paper & Pencil Co. Zinnia Tiered Popover Dress Shop at Printfresh External link Arrow An arrow icon, indicating this redirects the user."You know when you put an outfit on and get that sparkly feeling inside, like a little jolt of joy gifted from the fashion gods? That's how I feel every time I put this Printfresh dress on! It's the perfect vacation dress because it's easy to dress down with sneakers for walking around all day, but then you can switch into nicer shoes for fancier dinner dates. I brought it on trips to Mexico and the South of France and kept getting compliments from strangers wherever I went.
In terms of the fit, I love that the waist tie gives you a lot of flexibility and the flowy nature makes it super airy. It's made from breathable cotton, but the weight of it doesn't feel flimsy like a lot of cotton sundresses do. You can wear the waist tie as tight or loose as you want, so it would even be great as a maternity dress. I'm just over five feet tall and the size large is ever-so-slightly long on me from where it's intended to hit (which is mid-calf on average-height folks), but I don't mind that extra bit of length.
Insider's takeaway
Printfresh is our new go-to shop for unique, fun, and high-end PJs that work for nearly all body types. Its robes are particularly special; they feel luxe and timeless, and are sized well to accommodate people of varying heights, body shapes, and genders. The items fit just as well on a size L tester as they did on a size 3X tester; it's clear from our Printfresh reviews that all of their items are sized up thoughtfully and with care.
While the products are on the pricier size, the brand often has sales — you can often find its robes and PJs marked down by 20% or more. Still, even at full price, we think Printfresh's products are worth the splurge for truly special and well-fitting loungewear.
