All-in-One Pants Robe
All-in-One Pants Robe
This unique robe has built in pants! And pockets! It is perfect for postpartum life. You can easily breastfeed or pump. Unlike regular robes, you don't need to worry about your crotch showing.
The Pant Robe is made by separately constructing wrap pants and a robe. Then you sew the bottom of the robe to the back waistband of the pant. It’s basically magic.
It is easier than you’d think to get this robe on and off! To go to the bathroom, you can reach inside of the robe and untie the pant. This allows you to use the restroom without removing the upper robe. Or you can remove the robe from the shoulders and leave the pant tied.
Pattern options: Choose from short (the gray one in the pictures), regular, or tall lengths. There are four sleeve lengths. Plus an optional hood.
Difficulty: 4/5. The construction of this garment may be confusing for beginners. Some advanced alterations may be required to get the perfect fit, such as adjusting bodice length. We did include instructions for common alterations.
Fabric: This pattern was designed for knits, but wovens can be used too! Use terry cloth for an after shower robe. Make a swim coverup with sheer material or athletic mesh. Add trim to the edges for a touch of whimsy (you can hem everything but the sleeves in one go!) Use fleece to stay warm in the winter. You can use directional prints!
Yardage: This robe requires between 4 and 7 yards of fabric! There is a chart in the pictures.
Special supplies needed: Decorative elastic or trim for the waistband (not seen from the outside of the garment). Most of the testers used FOE (Fold Over Elastic).
Maternity friendly: Yes, make according to your current measurements.
Nursing friendly: Yes, no modifications needed.
Size range: Seven generous sizes will fit from XS to 7X.
Fit: There is positive ease in this garment. It fits loosely like a traditional robe. You may need to add a modesty clasp to the bust to keep the front closed, if using as a main garment.
Time to complete: Start to finish is about two hours. Cutting can take as long as sewing.
