From Alice & Co. Patterns:
Our easy to make Lavender Robe is elegant in the bedroom, cosy in the bathroom and glams up nicely as an evening jacket/coat – it all depends on your choice of fabric. The robe is a quick and satisfying make: the wrap-around design is easy to fit and there are no fiddly fastenings. We provide full instructions for French seams to make for a couture finish. An inside loop and tie hold everything in place and avoid any unwarranted un-wrapping!
FIT - Dropped shoulders, bracelet length sleeves, roomy pockets and a loose fit throughout. Wear loose and flowing or cinch as tight as you like with a matching or contrast tie belt.
VARIATIONS - Easily change the length of the hem from sweeping maxi to cropped evening/bed jacket. Make the sleeves full length, ¾ or short. We’ve added roomy pockets, but you could leave them off for a sleeker line. There’s plenty of opportunity to show off some fancy rows of top stitching on the pockets and cuffs.
FABRIC - The world is your fabric oyster with this design. It will work well in every kind of cotton from the softest lawn to crisp shirting through to a homespun slub or bouncy double gauze. For a luxuriously slinky robe silk or satin would be a perfect choice. Make a long cardigan version in a Ponte di Roma knit or go for brocade for a stunning evening jacket/coat. While you’re making up your mind make a cosy towelling version for the bathroom or swimming pool!
LEVEL - Easy-peasy – if you’ve never tried French seams before they’re not obligatory but make for a couture finish and we guide you through step by step.
