What kind of material goes into making a silk or satin kimono robe?
I would like to have a silk or saten kimono as a robe for around the house, but i’m 6 ft 2 inches. I would like to it to be very long. There are none sold in my size and to have it custom made would be ver expensive (i think). So i’ve decided to do it myself.
I’ve found a pattern to sew, but i need material. Does anyone know what kind of satin, or silk goes into making lingerie negliges? That’s the texture i’m going for. Also, where can I get it.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Just walk into any fabric store or dept store that has a fabric dept and tell them you want to look at silk and satin material for a neglige. Then pick out the color or print you like and always purchase a little more than you need, in case of mistakes, or if it is at the end of the bolt and there are only a couple of yard left, buy them, you can always make something with the leftovers if not needed. But better not to have them run out, and then need some more.
