Silver peignoirLet's look in detail at how to sew a peignoir with your own hands.

Fabric calculation

Different fabrics for negligees
With a fabric width of 145-150 centimeters, we make the following calculations: product length + sleeve length.

Advice! Cutting is done using the fabric folded in half.

With a material width of 80-90 centimeters - two product lengths + two sleeve lengths.

If you are going to sew a wraparound peignoir, then add another length to the product.

Using additional lace as a trim, or replacing the sleeve details with it, we get completely different models.

Having made wide sleeves, we get a kimono. All that remains is to choose the appropriate fabric with oriental motifs.

We make pockets with patches or place them in the side seams.

The pattern is given in Russian size 48 (bust circumference 96 cm).
