Tech. Description

Long Robe with Shawl Collar and Patch Pockets

When To Wear

At home as a dressing gown, over nightwear or after a bath.
As a light cover-up on holiday.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose fit, slightly widening to the hem.

Length: Below the knee.

Collar: Shawl collar cut in one with the front, joined by a seam at the centre back and faced with the front facings and a back neck facing.

Front: Wrap front with no buttons; the fronts overlap and can be held with a belt.

Sleeves: Three-quarter length, set into the open armhole with a dropped shoulder line; side and sleeve seams are stitched in one pass.

Pockets: Two patch pockets with rounded lower corners; the top edge has a 4 cm interfaced turn-back, topstitched.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Finishing: Pockets topstitched to the fronts; hems of the robe and sleeves turned up 3 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces, flat sleeve insertion and patch pockets; the cut-on shawl collar and facing need careful corner clipping.

Fabric Recommendations

Heavier silk fabrics made from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (front facings, back neck facing, pocket top edges)

First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).
