Last week, some members of my bellydance class performed at Tampon Tuesday, a local fundraiser for women living in shelters and half-way houses. The event was being held in a restaurant with no backstage area, so I finally needed to acquire a decent wrap so my costume would be hidden until it was time to perform. I came across a pattern here for a kimono style robe: http://peppermintmag.com/sewing-school/kimono-robe/.
I had a limited amount of fabric (some nice cotton left over from a nightie my mom had made for my daughter), and even less time. Therefore, I dispensed with the lining and the interfacing. The pattern says it’s one-size-fits-most but that isn’t quite true. I’m a bit taller and wider than most, but not hugely so. I would have been happier with a shorter robe that had more coverage in front. Still, it will do the job.
