Dollieh Sanctuary

Based on a 1941 McCalls British sewing pattern. Cotton voile.

It could have a snap or button closing instead of a sash


There is an attached hood. It is too small, a common problem when I try to make up a hood.


The nightgown is based on a vintage slip pattern
(I really need to get around to trying to reduce the face/body contrast!)

beautiful! I love how it turned out!

That's just lovely! I like it both ways, with the (hypothetical) button and the sash. If it were buttoned it could even be a lovely evening jacket. <3

Oh that's lovely <3
Wow, you've got a LOT of projects going on by the way!

Yes, yes I do.

Really nice gown. Personally I like the sash, it gives it a bit of a late 19th century feel (can't remember the name of the fashion at the moment).

Very nice! I love 40's clothes!

Here's a terrible phot of my inspiration for the dressing gown. I skipped the fancy back panel.
From Blueprints of Fashion
And between my skinny doll and my layout of the princess seams, I did not have enough real estate on the side front panel for the pockets. Boo hoo.

It turned out really well.
