Aphrodite Pyjama Set: Mix Tops and Bottoms and Care Tips

Quick answer

Treat the Aphrodite long-sleeve top and long bottoms as two separate purchases: choose each in your usual size, keep both in the same Black & Dark Euphoria print, and wash them inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle to protect the hand-painted Chinoiserie motifs.

Step-by-step: mix, wash and store your Aphrodite pyjamas

1. Pick each piece by its own measurements: Order the top in the size you normally wear for long-sleeve shirts and the bottoms in the size that matches your waist and hip measurement. Common mistake: buying both in one size and finding the bottoms tight while the top is loose. Write both sizes down before checkout so you do not default to a single size.
2. Confirm the print matches: Check that both the top and bottoms are listed as Black & Dark Euphoria before paying. Common mistake: ordering a top and a bottom from different Aphrodite colourways and expecting them to look like a set.
3. Wash inside out in cold water: Turn both pieces inside out, fasten any buttons, and wash on a delicate cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Common mistake: washing the set with towels or jeans, whose heavier fabric abrades the printed surface. Wash the pyjamas as a small separate load rather than adding them to a mixed wash.
4. Skip the dryer and hang to dry: Reshape the top and bottoms while damp and hang or lay flat away from direct sun. Common mistake: tumble drying on heat, which can shrink or distort a fabric whose composition you have not confirmed on the label.
5. Iron on low heat, print side down: If the care label allows ironing, press on the reverse with a low setting and avoid holding the iron in one spot over the hand-painted motifs. Common mistake: ironing the printed side directly and flattening or marking the Chinoiserie design. Test the iron on an inside seam first if you are unsure of the fabric.
6. Store folded, not on a hanger: Fold the top and bottoms together in a drawer away from damp and direct light. Common mistake: hanging the long top by its shoulders for months, which can stretch the fabric out of shape.

The two Aphrodite pieces

• Aphrodite Long-Sleeve Pyjama Top - Black & Dark Euphoria: Long-sleeve pyjama top in Black & Dark Euphoria, available by size. Order your usual top size so the sleeves and shoulders sit cleanly without pulling across the back.

  

• Aphrodite Long Pyjama Bottoms - Black & Dark Euphoria: Long pyjama bottoms in the matching Black & Dark Euphoria print, available by size. Choose the bottom size by your waist and hip measurement so the two pieces match in print but fit independently.
