My granddaughter needs some new nighties and has requested a "princess" and a "ballet" nightie. I thought I could use the birthday party pattern and instead of pleats in the front section I could smock this and do something similar on the back and not have the buttons. Does the centre piece need to be 2 or 3 times the finished size and do you think this would be stretchy enough to be a pull on nightie.
If anyone has any other pattern suggestions or alterations I would love to hear them.
Her other suggestion of a mermaid nightie with tail and bra top has been discouraged and is now going to be a dress-up. Don't you love 5year olds imagination.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
