I see two different sorts of PJs. The lady in the photo is wearing one of them with a cross-over design at the collar, whereas the other one seems to be just the edging around the neck.
Are there going to be male/female versions of PJs, I wonder?
(Being that I quite like Temperley, I am not complaining, and I'm glad to see BA having picked a British fashion house for it!)

I do hope they are desinged for my size. My style is more M&S coffee and cake, thank lycra sportsman.

Housekeeping notice
The content above was originally posted in the New First Class thread but as it relates to a new, confirmed development of the First service, this nuanced discussion definitely deserves its own thread.

Two rings joined by a vertical 'pole' (with bends), none of which is in the photo.
One of the rings sits under the lower plate, the other ring sits under the upper plate. The pole (or two) joining the lower and upper rings supports the upper ring on which the upper plate sits.
I've tried to find an example online but I can't find it. I have seen the ring system with a vertical 'pole' at the side though (it saves space compared to a normal two-tier plates with a pole in the middle).

I look forward to the new improvements! ^ It sounds very positive. I'll admit that I'm not too keen on the look of the new amenity kit shown (ladies?) but on the other hand, I really like the look of the new glasses, plates, and the sound of the new pyjamas and menu (though looking forward to more details on the latter). As always, I'll wait to see what this all means in practice, but if this follows the J improvements, I am optimistic that this will improve the onboard experience.
My only thought is that I wish they had taken the opportunity to replace the pillows and duvets to move to feather.

You know that awkward moment where a women walks up to you extends her arms and says ‘well what do you think, don’t you love it, I wasn’t sure either it’s so different from what I do normally, but didnt it turn out great?!?’
