Dunnit! The dressing gown I started pretty much a year ago is finished. I delayed because I wanted to embroider on the white collar but couldn't find a pattern that looked right - I'm actually quite glad I didn't now, because I don't think any embroidery would have looked right.
The pattern (Butterick 6837) was a nightmare. The instructions were very confusing (I usually use Style Arc - less is definitely more!) in relation to the collar at the back. When I first sewed the sleeve/shoulder seam the seams came down almost to my elbow - and they are set in sleeves. I had to recut both the armscye and the sleeves, but I got there in the end. After that I pretty much made it my own way. I think unisex patterns are probably a very bad idea - although a man with shoulders wide enough for this pattern would have been terrifying!
Anyway, here it is on Jemima. The brushed cotton clung terribly to her skin, so it isn't hanging brilliantly, and it actually looks better on me, but I am useless at taking selfies.
I am actually very pleased with it now!
