Pamela's Patterns - Modern Peignoir Ensemble

Pamela's second pattern combines a gorgeous robe and flowy pants for a nighttime ensemble too pretty to wear just for bed.

The robe or topper will look as good with jeans and a Tshirt as it will for relaxing at bedtime. Made entirely on the serger, it features a front band, tie belt, drop shoulder and wide "faux" cuffs. 4thread seaming, secured ends, unique straight hemming, and belt points will all be shown – skills that will translate handily into future projects. The flowy no-side-seam pants have many possibilities. Leave them wide at the hem or turn them into a jogger-style hem. The waist is a comfy elastic and can be made with or without a ruffly top edging. Cut them shorter, and you have adorable "shorties'. Made with a serger and a sewing machine, you won’t believe how fast these go together. 

Sizes: XS-XXL

Fabric Recommendation: Silky fabrics such as silk/poly/blends, rayon and challis, lightweight cottons/blends such as lawn/batiste/voile or lightweight linens

Format: Available as a PDF (Digital) Pattern with Copyshop Print Option.

Pamela's Patterns - UnDeniably Elegant Undies

 

We can all use the ideal pair of undies and Pamela has made hers so pretty. Feel comfortable, confident, and completely covered in this high waisted and lace embellished underwear that is perfect for everyday wear. Another perk? No VPL (visible panty line). The construction for the undies is completely doable for both the novice and experienced lingerie sewist. This project can be completely stitched on the sewing machine, but if you own a serger you can utilize some serging into the undies. Learn the best stitches for seaming, embellishing, adding lace, and attaching lingerie waistband elastic. There are even little lacy touches at the waist to pull the whole look together.

Sizes: Fits hip measurement of 34" - 57", XS-XXL

Fabric Recommendation: Nylon tricot, nylon/lycra or spandex, swimwear or any fashion knits that you like.

Format: Available as a Paper Pattern and as a PDF Pattern. A virtual workshop is included with both the formats.

I like the look of some of the Style Arc designs. I've seen some charts showing the pattern measurements for some, but is there a size chart? I have no idea what my Australian size would be.
