Description
This charming housecoat features a timeless princess seam design with practical front patch
pockets, a versatile collar that can be buttoned up to the neck or left open, and sleeves
that are beautifully gathered and cuffed at the wrist. For added flair, it even includes a
detachable collar.
Originally designed as a wartime pattern, this cozy garment was perfect for chilly nights,
especially when heading to and from the air-raid shelter. Its princess-panelled style makes
it wonderfully adaptable, allowing you to create it from materials like old blankets or
curtains—an ideal example of ‘make do and mend’ creativity!
Fabric suggestions to bring this design to life include flannel, velour, blanket cloth,
or even furnishing fabric for a unique touch.
The pattern has basic step by step instructions, so I’ve added a helpful sewing guide
to help.
Size: 40 ins. (101.6cm) Bust, 34 ins. (86.36cm) waist and 43 ins.
(109.22cm) hip
Please note you are buying a reproduction of an original 1940s pattern.
