Simple Yoked Nightgown and Pajamas - Petite Plus

Why pay premium prices for basic nightwear, when it's so easy to make well-fitting, comfortable organic nightgowns and pajamas by yourself? The simple nightgown or pajama top has optional cap sleeves and side seam pockets, and is wonderful for lounging or as sleepwear. View A features a flattering V-shaped yoke, and View B is has a yoke and cap sleeves of lace. The one-piece pajama pant has a comfortable, elastic waist.

Suggested fabrics for View A: Soft knit or woven fabrics, such as lightweight terry, knit, or woven cotton, batiste, silk charmeuse, tricots. For View B, when using Lingerie Lace yokes choose lightweight knit or woven fabrics such as tricots, single knits, or lingerie silk; when using heavier Cotton Lace yokes, choose heavier knit or woven fabrics such as lightweight terry, double knits, satin, and cottons. View A top takes under 1.5 yards of a 60" fabric for sizes 14-16, and 2.25 yards for sizes 18-24; View B top takes under 1.25 yards for sizes 14-16, and 1.5 yards for sizes 18-24. The pant takes 2.5 yards of a 60" wide fabric for all sizes, and 1-inch-wide felt-back elastic cut 4-6 inches less than your waist measurement. View A nightgown requires 2 yards of a 60" wide fabric for sizes 14-16, and just under 3.5 yards for sizes 18-24. View B nightgown calls for under 1.75 yards for 14-16, and 2.75 yards for 18-24. View B requires 2.5 yards of 4" wide single galloon lingerie or cotton lace and 1.25 yards of 3/8-inch elastic. Fabric requirements do not allow for shrinkage or fabric matching.

Petite Plus Patterns are designed for the full-figured petite woman, with narrow shoulders, a full bust, a short waist length, and a rounded tummy. The patterns generally include sizes 14-24, and the sizing chart can be seen here. Shirt and jacket patterns include the Perfect Fit Guide (tm), which provides "Extra fitting help for a perfect custom fit." The patterns are designed for a D cup bust, but the Perfect Fit Guide (tm) includes directions for easy alterations.
