I changed it up a bit:
I put a self-fabric binding around the neck.
A regular purchased binding just didn't seem appealing--scratchy and rough. This is so much softer. I sewed it down around the neckline again to make everything lie down nicely.
Used my buttonhole stitch around the sleeves and at the placket. The sleeves are 3/4 length and without any elastic.
The buttons were in my stash. I had some great little flower buttons--but only two! These look bright and cheerful, though.
I added about 10 inches (even for shorty me!) to make a long gown. Otherwise the nightgown would be quite short. I like something around my legs when it's cold!
So cozy and warm--especially since it's supposed to snow again tomorrow!

I'm in love this nightie!! Wish I could wrap my head around making simple and sweet outfits rather than carrying around the notion that it has to be something otherwordly. *sigh*
Try it! This was a super simple pattern--I just tweaked it a little.
And I'm really looking forward to a warm nightie tonight--see my snow pictures from today!
Thanks, I'll give it a try, :)
