What I always want to know when I buy closing on-line are exact measurements, quality of the material as well as color-fastness of the material and the goal of this review was to provide this additional information.
I hand washed PJ pants and top in warm water and took pictures of the water after soaking each piece for 10 minute to test color fastness of each piece. After washing PJs in warm water I dried them on medium heat in the dryer. I measured the PJ before and after laundering them to aid in proper sizing after the initial shrinking. Size note: I like my PJ loose and ordered 2X size, all measurements below are for that size but the relative shrinkage can be generalized for the fabric of any size.

Blue/white flannel pants notes:

Print: there is a design both on the front and the back of the top. Both are printed (not embroidered). The front has an image of a snowflake with "Love your family" phrase written in script font. The back has LYF logo, and in in small font "love your family by footstep clothing". Photo #3 shows close-up of the front, photo #2 shows close-up of the back.

Amazon carries a large variety of designs for Footstep Clothing. I was looking for universal design of neutral colors without much lettering. The blue top with a snowflake and grey bottom fit my requirement best. The blue plaid was very pretty and matched the blue shade of the top.
Overall, I am pleased with Footstep PJs. They did undergo some shrinkage after the initial wash, so I hope my measurements will help you to select the right size.
I received an evaluation pair of Footsteps Clothing pajamas to provide an honest and unbiased review. In this review I noted both positives and negatives of my experience and if you have any questions I have not covered in my review I am always happy to respond to comments.
