Named Clothing: Unisex Dressing Gown

A paper sewing pattern by Finnish indie pattern company Named Clothing.

The Lahja dressing gown is a casually straight-cut unisex garment. The Finnish word ‘lahja’ means ‘gift’ and, as the name suggests, these dressing gowns are a great gift either for your friend or yourself! There are two versions; a shorter knee-length gown with cropped sleeves, and a longer version that extends to midleg and has full-length sleeves. Both variations feature large patch pockets and a belt fastening.

Fabric & Notions: Choose a non-stretch fabric. Depending on the desired look, choose a coarse fabric, for example natural linen, terry cloth, or waffle fabric or, for a lighter version, pick a drapey rayon or satin. The sample garments are made from stonewashed linen.

You will also need fusible interfacing: 125 cm (1 3/8 yd) for the short version or 155 cm (1 6/8 yd) for the long.

The pattern envelope contains sizes XS-XXL which runs from a 29 1/8" to a 51 5/8" chest.

Skill level is 2/5
