Girls’ Cotton Pajamas

Girls’ 100% Cotton Pyjama Set with Doll Collar and Polka Dot Print

Wholesale and private label

Overview

This is a girls’ pyjama set made in 100% cotton, with a doll collar, an open-front top and a polka dot print with a cartoon girl motif. It is designed for spring, autumn and air-conditioned rooms, where a child needs her arms and legs covered without being wrapped in a heavy fabric. The cotton is soft against the skin and holds its shape, so the set looks tidy rather than limp, and because it is a single-layer cotton pyjama it breathes: a child sleeping in a warm room does not end up sweaty, and a child in an air-conditioned room stays comfortable. The top opens at the front like a little cardigan, which makes it easy for a child to put on and take off herself. The set is produced as a stock item and as a private-label piece, so the fabric, the print, the collar and the packaging can all be set to your specification. Sizes run [2T–12Y], and can be graded to your own size chart. MOQ is 100 pieces per colourway.

Why buyers choose this style

Children’s pyjamas are one of the most reliable items in kidswear, because they are bought as a set, they are replaced as the child grows, and they are bought by parents who are looking for comfort rather than for fashion. A cotton set with a doll collar and a print sells because it looks like a treat without being impractical: the child likes the print, and the parent likes the fabric.

The 100% cotton construction is the second reason. Parents read the label, and cotton is the fibre they trust for children’s sleepwear because it is breathable and soft. A set that is 100% cotton and holds its shape after washing meets both the practical test and the label test, which is what drives repeat purchases.

The third reason is the air-conditioned room position. In many markets, children sleep in a cooled room or a room with the air conditioning on for part of the night, and parents want long sleeves and long pants that are still light. A light cotton set answers that need exactly, and it extends the selling season on both sides of summer. For the buyer, the numbers are straightforward: 100-piece MOQ, 7–10 day sampling and 25–40 day bulk lead time, with mixed sizes in one order.

100% cotton: soft, breathable, holds its shape

The set is made in 100% cotton, which is chosen because it is the fibre parents associate with comfort and safety for children. Cotton breathes, it does not build up static, and it feels soft against the skin, which matters for children who sleep in a light set and for children with sensitive skin.

The fabric is finished so that it holds its shape rather than collapsing into a limp, shapeless pyjama. That is what gives the set its neat appearance: the collar stands correctly, the front edge lies flat, and the legs do not twist around the knee after a night of sleep. Shape retention is checked after washing, because a cotton set that loses its shape after two washes is the fastest way for a parent to stop buying the brand.

Cotton also needs to be pre-shrunk for children’s sleepwear, because the fit matters for comfort. The fabric is pre-shrunk or washed before cutting so the set does not come back from the first wash one size smaller, and each size is checked for shrinkage before bulk.

Doll collar and open-front top

The collar is a doll collar, the small rounded collar that sits flat around the neckline. It is chosen because it frames the face and gives the pyjama set a neat, classic look, and because it sits flat rather than standing up, which means nothing presses on a sleeping child’s neck. The collar is cut with a stable interlining so it holds its shape, and the edge is stitched cleanly so it does not curl after washing.

The top opens at the front like a small cardigan, so a child can put it on and take it off without help. The front edge and the collar are finished with the same bias binding or piping so the opening looks designed rather than like a shirt that has been left unfastened. The sleeves are long and lightly fitted, with a soft cuff that does not mark the wrist.

Polka dot and cartoon girl print

The print is a polka dot design with a cartoon girl motif, in a soft, child-friendly palette. The motif placement is developed on the pattern rather than applied randomly: the cartoon figure sits on the chest or the leg where it reads clearly, the polka dots are scaled in proportion to each size so the print does not look too dense on a small size or too sparse on a large one, and the print is checked at the seams so that motifs are not cut in half.

Print is developed for stretch and wash resistance, so the design does not crack when the pyjamas are pulled on and does not fade after repeated washing. Where the buyer needs a different character or a different colourway, the print can be developed from their own artwork, and the colours are matched to their references.

Made for air-conditioned rooms

The set is positioned for air-conditioned rooms and for the seasons around summer. In a cooled room, a child needs arms and legs covered but does not need a thick fabric: a heavy pyjama is uncomfortable, while a bare-armed set leaves a child cold in the morning. A light long-sleeve cotton set sits in between, which is why this style sells in spring, autumn and summer in markets where air conditioning is common.

The position also works for travel and for hotels, where the temperature is set by someone else, and for children who kick off their covers during the night. The pyjama becomes the layer that controls the temperature, rather than the duvet.

Fit and sizes

Sizing is based on chest width, body length, sleeve length, waist relaxed, waist stretched, hip and inseam, measured flat without stretching. Grading is developed to your own size chart, and the size guide shows both centimetres and inches, with the age range listed next to the height so parents can choose the right size. Reference sizes [2T–12Y], or [90–160 cm], confirmed on the order. Because children grow quickly, the fit allows a little room without looking oversized.

Safety and compliance

Children’s sleepwear is regulated in several markets, and the rules are stricter than for ordinary clothing. In the United States, children’s sleepwear has to meet flammability requirements, and tight-fitting sleepwear made from cotton is treated differently from loose-fitting garments, so the fit and the labelling must comply with the applicable standard. In the EU, children’s clothing must meet the general safety requirements, including the rules on cords and drawstrings — which is why this set is produced without any cord at the neck.

The set is therefore designed without a neck drawcord, without small detachable parts and without sharp metal hardware, and the collar and front edge are finished softly. If you sell into the United States, the fit and the flammability documentation should be confirmed before the order, and we can supply the testing documentation with the shipment.

Fabric and care

The fabric is 100% cotton, pre-shrunk and checked for pilling, shrinkage and colourfastness before bulk. Pilling is tested because a printed cotton set rubs at the underarm and the inner thigh, and colourfastness is tested because the print and the base fabric may behave differently in the wash.

Care is simple: machine wash cold, wash with similar colours, tumble dry low or hang dry, do not bleach, and iron on the reverse at low temperature if needed. The set is tested after the same wash cycle the customer will use, so the care label reflects real results.

Sampling and production timeline

1. Inquiry. Send a photo, a sketch or a tech pack.
2. Fabric. Confirm the cotton, the weight and the print, 3–7 days.
3. Pattern. Fit, collar, front opening and print placement, 2–3 days.
4. Sample. First sample of the full set, 7–10 working days per round.
5. Approval. Your sign-off on fit, print, collar and trims.
6. Bulk. Production, 25–40 days after approval and deposit.
7. Shipment. Final inspection and packing, then sea, air or express.

Most kids’ sets are approved in two rounds: the first sample confirms the fit, the collar and the print placement, and the second confirms the fabric, the colours and the finish.
