I recall a coworker once told me that I reminded him of Auntie Mame. I was not sure how to take that comment, so I chose to think of it as a compliment. With that thought in mind, I made myself a robe that I think she may have worn one of her most casual days.
The fabric is a silk that I purchased years ago - so I consider it free fabric!
The sleeves are full and amusing to wear. I am reminded of what my Grandmother would have said "it my be pretty, but you can't fry eggs in it!" Well, Gran, I won't be frying eggs in this one!
The pattern is Louise Cuttings East Meets West.
If you have not purchased and made one of her patterns - you are missing a treat. It is worth buying the pattern just for the directions.
Happy SEWing,

Auntie Mame is one of my most favorite movies. I've seen it tons of times. Good choice, and great job. Your BFF Deb
