McCall’s M5989
I made view C, the nightgown. I think it seems strange that it’s so hard to
find a pattern for a regular old nightgown.
Not something that looks like what my grandmother would wear, and not something
that has pants as a part of it, just a night…gown. This is close enough, and turned out great for
me.
I cut a size 4 based on finished measurements, and it worked
just right. I used a nice silky fabric that
was on clearance at Hancock Fabrics some time ago.
Changes/Alterations-At step #2, I changed the opening location
by raising it about an inch. At step #13,
I took up more than the stated 3/4" and used this to encase my elastic while
turning under the edges at the same time-once through the machine only. Otherwise, assembled as per directions.
It’s pretty and cute, but I haven’t worn it much yet because
it turned into winter around the time I finished it. Oh, well, one more reason to look forward to spring!
Yes, I recommend this pattern.
