Suggested Fabrics: Any soft fluid fabric at least 60" in width. Nylon tricot, cotton batiste, seersucker, cotton blends, jersey, soft cotton knits, washable silks and satins. Note: extra fabric is needed for shrinkage, matching plaids or stripes patterns alterations, one-way designs or napped fabric.

Note: This nightgown can be fashioned from 45" fabric by adding a seam along the fold line which forms the nursing opening. Using heavy fabrics of narrow width may detract from the drape and flow of the gown, however, if you choose to use 45" wide fabric, use the yardage figures for the 60-inch and add an extra yard of fabric. (5 1/4 yards for long sleeve, ankle length gown.) The larger sizes will also need to make minor adjustments to some of the pattern pieces. Basic instructions for these alterations are included on the sewing guide.

Notions: To accent front yoke only, 1/2 yard of 3 3/4" wide flat lace. To accent both yoke and hem, 3 1/2 yards of 2 3/4" wide lace. 1 1/2 yards of 1" wide lace to accent sleeves (optional). 1 1/4 yards of 1" wide ribbon to accent yoke. 1 yard of 3/8" wide plush elastic for sleeves. Thread.
