Because this is a pattern with lots of ease, the sizing is more flexible. For Claire we sewed a size 42, roughly a US 10. This essentially translates to a US size of 2 through 14 (or a 24 1/2 waist to a 32 1/2 waist).
The pattern features European sizing, sizes 34-48. The pattern is designed to feature big blocks of color or pattern, as the sleeves, back, sides, and front center pieces are separate.
The Allie Robe is a kimono sleeved dressing gown or robe with a loose fit and dramatic kimono sleeves. Two hands on one robe is better than one, I always say! But time got away from us (actually, we spent too many late nights watching Mad Men Season 1 and then sleeping in late in the mornings), so to hustle our efforts I helped with her projects. I have two machines, and originally we were going to sew our respective lounge wear simultaneously, me working on my bloomers and robe, and her working on hers. We sewed Burda Style's Allie Robe and matching Colette Pattern's Bloomers. I originally lured her in with a promise to make pajama pants (sadly, the first pair I made for her never worked out), but as I started to plan for the project, I thought "who wants to wear boring old pajama pants anyways?" Instead, I opted for more sophisticated, whimsical lounge wear. My sister Claire is a budding seamstress, so when she planned a Christmas visit, I promised her some sewing.
