I've been meaning to make a new silky dressing gown for some time now, but like many things in life, I just never got around to it.
Well I finally did it. I was making one for a birthday gift, and re-fell in love with the beauty of this pattern.
It's not a boxy shapeless robe, but rather one with fitted shoulder, two-piece sleeve that flares at the end. Stunning but simple.
I selected a polyester jacquard from my stash originally from Fabricland. Guessing it's around 15 years old, so it's about time to use it up.
I also used one of my pre-done labels, Adare, which is my middle name. Thanks mum for being an avid reader and finding such a unique, cool name. Perfect for putting into my clothes!!
And here is the now out-of-print pattern. You can see I shortened the robe to knee length as I didn't want one to the floor. That's just not practical in my life. Perhaps when kids are all grown and out of the house!
