The short set was one of the first things I ever purchased from the Nordstrom sale. They were incredibly soft - almost too soft because I never wanted to put on real clothes! A few years ago, the quality had gone down and they did not feel the same. However, I was gifted a pair for Christmas and they seemed like they were back to how they were. I bought another nightgown and can confirm (along with the other 4 DMs from Nordstrom employees) - they are back! This is the best time to buy them! I prefer the short sets and the night shirt. I think they run a little big, but not big enough to size down. Plus sizes are under a separate listing. LTKxNSale
