Finished Robe

I finished my new robe last night. I used Butterick 5152, which is a reprint of a 1948 pattern. I didn't make any alterations except for shortening it. I'm 5'4" and had to take about 4" off the hem. I probably should have taken out 1/2"-3/4" in bodice length as I usually do, but since it's supposed to be a little blousy anyway, I didn't bother.

Chalk another one up for doing a project that has been stashed for at least a year.





I even already wrote the review! Not that there was much to say. It was quite easy - just follow the instructions, though I'll admit to completely ignoring the pattern layout since my fabric demanded single layer cutting.
