Does anyone know of a good pattern for women’s pajamas? Or could any of the current patterns here be altered? I’m looking for a traditional pants and button down shirt. More of a men’s style, but for women. Thanks!

I’d love that too. The big 3 have tons of PJ patterns but I don’t know how good they are.

Kwik Sew 2811 is a good pattern for this. These can be more pricey than McCalls or Simplicity but the directions are so good and the finishing details are similar to Oliver + S patterns.

Thanks for the thoughts. I will check out the Kwik Sew pattern. I haven’t tried one in many years. I am spoiled with Liesl’s patterns. They are the only ones I have use.

I own and have sewn a pair of pants from Simplicity 2771. The facing on the top is very similar to the Oliver + S Sleepover pattern.

This was the pattern that taught me to use the high bust measurement for the top. I made the large size to accommodate my, um, hourglass figure and the shoulder seam comes halfway down my arm :-p

I can second the vote for Kwiksew patterns, seriously ugly pattern covers but a good solid pattern.
