Oooh, that sounds so pretty. I sewed with faux shearling once, it wasn’t so bad. I shaved the seam allowance with a daisy shaver first.

This was one of my favorites for the twins when they were little. It is on the slimmer side, so it fit Georgia better and for a longer time. Here were a few of their 6 month ones: http://sewingforfour.blogspot.com/2012/03/hopscotch-dresses.html?m=0

No help but I can’t wait to see it.

I love the fit of the After School pants. They are a nice slim fit although I do have to lengthen them a bit for my long skinny boys. The Sandbox are also a great fit and I’ve never had to lengthen them.
Good luck!

Both the Sandbox and Afterschool have nice long legs.

I would imagine the five would be okay. I’ve found, however, that many nightgown patterns have wide necklines and shoulders and slip off my girls’ shoulders if I’m not careful in sizing.

I’ve made them all except the Nature Walk and for my kids who are slim but average height I have found the After School to be the slimmest. They’re easy to pull on for little ones, too.

I still have to size my oldest daughter down in width on everything, she’s 11. It’s not difficult, I just have focus carefully when I trace my pattern pieces…[Read more]

My scissors are missing again!
The number I’ve lost equals ten!

I cut up an old skirt of mine
After drinking half a bottle of wine
I thought I’d cut straight
Oh my but wait
Should stripes go across the grain line?

New one,

My scissors are missing again!

I think a 5 with length will be just fine for a night dress.
It will have fullness though, so I not sure how it fits into safety in regard to fire hazards.
