A nice robe is a lounging staple that every woman - especially those of us over 30 - should have. I purchased this pattern during one of the many 99 cent pattern sales at Joann's or Hancock Fabrics (don't recall which) because, well, it was only 99 cents! Plus, I didn't have a robe at the time and I felt this would be great practice. I used terry cloth fabric in a super pretty lilac, also purchased at Joann's, along with interfacing for the belt. I cut out size XXS, which is the smallest one, from the pattern paper and prayed that no additional downsizing would be necessary. Surprisingly, once finished, it fit really well! My only complaint with this pattern is the placement of the belt loops on the garment, which were too high, in my opinion. If I ever repeat the pattern I will be sure to drop the loops a little lower and closer to the waist. Other than that, I love my new robe! Here's the pics. Let me know what you think!
