I made this Burda 12/2008 #114 nightgown as a dress last year. At the time, I thought that I might want to make it as a nightie. Still, this silk fabric from Gorgeous Fabrics was not purchased for nightgown purposes. Actually, I bought it on a whim to make this Burda pajama set:
I thought this Burda 11/2009 #134 camisole and panties were so cute. I still do. I spent a good bit of time searching for the right lace, bought numerous samples, and never could find the "right" lace. The main problem is that I don't wear baby doll pajamas. Get REAL! I would only admire them from a distance. I haven't worn anything like this to bed since I was 3 years old, if then. I don't remember. Whenever I go looking for a fabric in my stash, I fondle this gorgeous fabric. I just never could think of anything realistic to make from it. This weekend I was playing with my stash because I was bored of working on the M5393 shorts. I was feeling self indulgent and the nightgown was the result. There is still fabric left that may show up as a top one of these days.Now, back to shorts that I am determined to finish this week without getting into anymore stash mischief.

Ohhhh so nice!!
The babydoll set is cute,,, its one of those things I would love to have (like a floor length velvet evening gown) that I would wear once... and never again... much like the velvet gown ... (that I finaly sold!)
Its good to make yourself something so pretty and expensive sometimes! You'll get so much enjoyment out of wearing it!!
