Decadent Robe

All of my clothes (and yours I assume) are created for different reasons. Some meet a need, others are just for fun.

This is a project born out of fabric love. My local boutique got some of the Art Gallery Fabrics Decadence Collection Paon Plumes Royal rayon. Like a sailor lured by the Sirens, it beckoned to me, singing an irresistible song of a luxurious robe.

I heeded the call.

This robe is a modified Kochi jacket by Papercut Patterns. It’s a nice pattern with optional ties and pockets. I’ve made 2 robes and a jacket from it and enjoy them all.

For this decadent version, I lengthened it by 8 inches and added 2 patch pockets but no ties. The seams are all French seams.
