I was thrifting with Amanda on Wednesday night when I found this awful, frilly gown. So many frills. But I couldn't resist. Its so warm and comfy. Of course, when I showed it to Pj, he shuddered so I call it "The Man Repellant". Mine has an over-sized, quilted, embroidered yoke, zip up the front, frilly cuffs and general sack-like appearance. Its ugly but snuggly. I love it!
I really want to make a few 40's nightgowns. I really love girly prints, ruffles, frills and shirring. I've been some pretty floral print flannel and cozy, flannel-backed satin that would be perfect for these!
If you want something a little sexier, you really can't go wrong with these PDF patterns from La Prairie Lady on etsy

These patterns are so cute my husband might not hate them ;) I have a soft spot for "granny nighties". The Man always says I look like the wolf in grandmas clothing from Little Red Riding Hood.
ReplyDeleteHEHE! Glad to know Im not the only one with man repellant! LOL :P
ReplyDeleteThe last two are so pretty =)
ReplyDeleteI need some too! And dressing gowns! In fact, my whole nightwear department need a serious overhaul!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gowns! I'll pick snuggly over sexy but cold and uncomfortable any day!! Sorry hubby xx
ReplyDeletethose patterns are wonderful! I too have a granny style nightie and I am proud to wear it every night because it's the best thing I have ever worn to bed! I think next time I will try to make my own.
ReplyDeleteGuys just don't understand comfort.... and it does not look ugly IMO. It looks cute as a button. But on another note, congrats on the Nook Tablet! I'm a Nook lover myself. (I've got the 1st Edition Nook) They are wonderful, wonderful devices.
