If you want to learn how to sew a peignoir with your own hands according to a pattern, first of all, choose an elegant material, beautiful braid or lace.

Elegant peignoir for special occasions is sewn from airy translucent fabrics, and if you need a comfortable cape or shirt for every day, it is better to use material with a high content of natural fibers. The color, finishes and pattern of the peignoir will depend on the purpose.

Which fabric is better to sew a peignoir from?

Back in the 16th century, peignoirs were worn in Venice. They were sewn from velvet with lace, but now it is customary to make them from lighter fabrics:

• silk;
• guipure;
• nylon;
• viscose.

How to build a pattern on fabric?

The peignoir pattern can be made in several ways. The most reliable is to build it on paper, cut it out and transfer it to the fabric, not forgetting the seam allowances. This method is needed when modeling and making a model of a complex cut.

But a loose-fitting negligee pattern can be made directly on the material. You can decorate your wardrobe with a new thing in a fewhours:

1. Fold the fabric in half in the direction of the grain thread. Align the cut. Set aside the length from the bottom to the waist and draw a horizontal line with chalk or a bar of soap. Mark half of the hips on it, add 3 cm for a loose fit, draw a vertical line down.
2. From the waistline upwards, you need to set aside the height of the back - point A. From it - 3 cm down, we get point B, 10-15 cm to the side - point C.
3. Join B and C with a flowing backline.
4. From point C with a slope of 1-2 cm, measure the length of the shoulder, we get point D.
5. Along the waist line, set aside half of the chest circumference, draw a line up. On it, mark the middle of the height of the back. This will be point E. Connect points E and D by making a rounding for the armhole. From point E, draw a line to the middle of the waist, and from it to the middle of the hips, if you want to get a fitted product, or from point E, draw a flare to the very bottom.
6. Cut, adding 0.7 cm to the seams. Fold the resulting part in half, put on the rest of the fabric folded in half for the front, circle, making the cutout deeper.
7. Connect the parts, process the armhole and neck.

How to make a wrap dressing gown using the same pattern?

After doing the back in the same way, measure the length of the front product on the remaining piece, cut off the excess, cut in half lengthwise, as there will be 2 front parts.

Cut out the back, put the side seam to the edge of the material, draw a waistline, circle the armhole and side seam. Set aside the cutout depth on the other side of the peignoir patternnecklines, draw a line to the very edge of the fabric at the waist. Now you have a half front with a smell. To this extreme point on one side you will sew a long belt (about 1.5 m). And to the other - part of the belt of small length (about half a meter). On the half where the sash is short, you need to make a hole at the waist line in the side seam in order to thread the long part there when wrapping it.

Having mastered this very simple pattern once, which seems confusing and complicated only at the first acquaintance, you can sew peignoirs, warm bathrobes, even jackets.

How much fabric do you need?

One length is enough to make a peignoir pattern with your own hands. For large hips, you will need two desired lengths plus the length of the sleeve.

If you process the edges of the product with the same material, then you can add another half a meter of material to cut oblique inlays.

For a peignoir according to the pattern, you can purchase elastic lace, soft stretch mesh, process the edges and armholes with them. They will help create a romantic image, make the product elegant.
