petro said... Very pretty. I have a 1940's nightie pattern too, perhaps I'll dig it out and try it now. For the curved neck/ribbon issue - what about putting elastic with ribbon sewn at the ends of it, so the elastic does the work, and you still get a ribbon to tie? 4/15/12 8:01 AM

Renren said... So light and airy . . . and pure and innocent. Very nice vintage nightgown and then as a bonus another great review from the great Margaret! 4/15/12 11:46 AM

velosewer said... I like the off centre bow too. 4/15/12 10:10 PM
Margaret said... Thanks everyone! Petro, that is one of the things I was thinking of doing. I'm not sure if 3/4" elastic might still try to curl in the neckline, so I may have to do a double casing with narrower elastic, so that I can make the elastic closer to the edge shorter. But either way, I'd keep the bow (even just tacking one on top if I have to). Have fun with your pattern! 4/16/12 6:14 AM

StudioCherie said... Great review. Thanks for being so thorough. 4/23/12 11:25 PM
FreyaStark said... Lovely! That pattern would work well in a dainty print like a Liberty lawn, and it could also work as a peasant-style top or dress if you felt so inclined. 4/24/12 8:08 AM
