A nightgown
or loungegown if you will.
With renovations going smoothly on our house, we hope to be in by July, a loungegown for myself with Simplicity pattern #3835 seemed to be in order. Katie and I have talked about nightgowns before, the idea of them just didn't seem to fit with New York apartment life. But for some reason with a house the idea makes me so happy. I really don't intend on sleeping in it, but throwing it on in the morning and maybe stepping outside to grab the paper or mail, or making breakfast in it, all barefoot of course just is all too perfect, and suburban.
I even had enough to make an extra little one size 2T. I am putting it in the shop today, it is a slightly modified version of mine, actually a little fancier with a tie around the neck. I love this fabric, it's so sweet and feminine, perfect for a loungegown.

oh you and your perfectly tanned legs. Oh and the nightgown looks great too.
oh, it looks great- they both do! so perfect for the new place- you could even go pick some fruit off the tree in it!
after our conversation yesterday i decided it was time i made one for myself, enough scrambling to get dressed when the buzzer sounds.
um, and i'm jealous of that saltwater tan. you put my pasty body to shame.
very cute. some day i will finish my simplicity #3835 dress. some day when i buy a zipper and more interfacing.
Fantastic! Me want!
so cool! love the fabric. this is one of those things i'm not sure i could pull off, but i wish i could. looks great.
You've given me inspiration. I have made a ton of dresses from this pattern and wondered how many more I actually needed. What I don't have is a nightgown to wear as you describe. Hmmmm ...
very cute. so what is the difference between a lounge gown and a dress?
isn't half the reason why your stuff is so cute is b/c you take the time to find interesting and cute fabric?
I've been considering doing this in a knit. I might actually sleep in it if I used something yummy.
Love the print. :D
MUCH cuter than a house dress!
Oh my banana strawberry jamba juice, I didn't ever post on your night gown? Wait have you even worn your night gown? Or is this only for when you move into your new house?
