Lhan said... A useful review - thanks. Nightgowns don't often feature, and I make them for my mother so need advice on what others have found works. This looks like a nice simple one, and she will need the same modifications you used. 3/24/06 0:52 AM
Miss Fairchild said... Thank you, Lhan. Just to let you know, I didn't use a lace inset as the pattern suggests, but rather sewed 1'' all around the neckline. It's for sale in the classifieds; it's so easy I don't need it anymore. 3/24/06 7:21 AM
