The first sleepover invitation is a big moment. Her bag is packed three days early, the snack list has been negotiated, and one question matters more than all the others: what is she going to wear?
At this age, pajamas are not just pajamas. They are how she tells her friends who she is. So instead of a list of what is popular, here are the 8 best pajama prints for girls, sorted by the kind of girl who will love them. Find her below, and you are done.

The 8 best pajama prints for girls
All of these are hand-illustrated by our design team and made in the same buttery-soft bamboo fabric. Only the personality changes.
No. 1 · For the girl in pink
Kaia
Roses on pink, cut as a proper button-up set with a collar and cuffs. If her favorite color has been pink for as long as you can remember, this is the one she will reach for first. It is also the set that looks best in the group photo.
No. 2 · For the girl who picks flowers on every walk
Elsie
Soft garden florals in pink and blue on ivory. It reads a little more grown-up than an all-pink set, which makes it an easy yes for older girls who are starting to have opinions. Prefer a round neck? It also comes as a two-piece Elsie pajama set.
No. 3 · For the girl who does not do pink
Mae
Blue roses tied together with ribbons and a little script “love” running through the print. Every sleepover has one girl who wants something different from everyone else. Mae is pretty and feminine without a speck of pink.
No. 4 · For the girl who keeps it simple
Nancy
White polka dots on bright pink, and nothing else. It is the set for the kid who hates anything fussy, and it mixes well with every other print on this list if the whole group is dressing together.
No. 5 · For the old soul
Etta Pointelle
Soft purple roses tied with mint bows on a delicate blush base, in a pointelle knit with tiny open-work details. This is the one that looks like it came out of a storybook, and the kind of set you will want to keep and hand down.
No. 6 · For the girl with a sweet tooth
Alice
Juicy red cherries tied with pink satin bows on a cool blue base. It is playful, it photographs beautifully, and it is impossible to wear without someone asking about it. If strawberries are more her thing, look at the Hadley pajama set.
No. 7 · For the girl who raids your makeup bag
Makeup
Lipsticks, palettes and perfume bottles all over a soft pink base. It is pure fun, and it is made for the kid whose idea of a sleepover is a full makeover at ten o’clock at night. No real lipstick required.
No. 8 · For the wild one
Kiara
Leopard print from neck to ankle, and one of our best-selling girls’ prints. Kiara is the answer for the girl who has outgrown florals, or never liked them in the first place. It looks just as good on a 12-year-old as it does on a toddler.
What every print has in common
Buttery-soft bamboo
95% viscose from bamboo, 5% spandex. Stretchy, breathable and moisture-wicking.

Hand-illustrated prints
Original artwork by our design team that you will not find anywhere else.
Hosting? Coordinate, don’t match
Identical pajamas look like a uniform. For the sweetest sleepover photos, choose one color story and let each girl pick her own print inside it. Pink, blue and ivory is our favorite: Kaia, Mae, Elsie and Nancy all sit together like they were made for it.

Print this one for the first-timer, and let her check things off herself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pajama prints do girls like best?
It depends on the girl, which is why we build our prints around personalities. Roses and soft florals are the classics, polka dots are the easy mix-and-match choice, and playful prints like cherries, leopard and makeup win with kids who want something to show off.
Are bamboo pajamas good for sleepovers?
Yes. Our sets are 95% viscose from bamboo and 5% spandex, so they are soft, stretchy, breathable and moisture-wicking. That helps when a room full of kids gets warm at night.
How should girls’ pajamas fit?
Our two-piece sets are made with a snug, stretchy fit that moves with her and stays put. Use our size chart to find the right size.
What sizes do Lev girls’ pajamas come in?
Most two-piece sets run from 2T to 12/14Y, and a few prints stop at 9/10Y. Footies in the same prints start at newborn, so baby sister can match.
