I love sleepwear and have spent a lot of time and money looking for a pattern with great tailoring details that fits my 34G self. This is it! My first Cashmerette pattern but not the last for sure. One comment on fit: if you like a lot of room in your nightwear, go up a size. My first try fit *perfectly* but I will size up next time as that’s my sleeping preference.

I have now made 3 Fiske nightgowns with a variety of stretch materials for the outer portion (double brushed poly, athletic knit, velvet plush) and sheer cup lining/power net for the lining. All three fit well and are very comfortable for sleeping. I made 1 toile of the lining (bra component) prior to making the nightgowns. I used the measurements in the pattern to determine my size for the toile. I found that the recommended size was 1 cup size too large. I reduced the cup size, but kept the band size when making the nightgowns. In discussing it with others, I heard others also found the recommended cup size to be too large. I would recommend making a toile of the lining to check to make sure you're in the right size before making the nightgown. The instructions don't specify the stretch percentage for the band elastic. I found that the band elastic I had needed to be cut 1 band size smaller than what the pattern called for (but left the lining pieces cut at the underbust size). I'm 1.5 m tall and the finished length was just at the knee. I added 15" to the bottom in order to have full length nightgowns. The instructions and illustrations were detailed and easy to follow. If you're new to bra making, make sure to pay close attention the "DOGS" (direction of greatest stretch) when cutting your fabrics. DOGS make a difference in how bras fit (or not). If you're using power net for the first time, be sure to look online for instructions on how to determine the DOGS for that fabric. The estimated amount needed for the outer fabric is about right, perhaps a little on the generous side. It was sufficient for directional fabric. Depending on the width of the fabric, you may not need additional fabric to lengthen. My velvet plush (directional) fabric was nearly 70" wide and I didn't need extra yardage to add 15" to the pattern length. I'll likely make a couple more of these.

I have only made the robe so far, but it is perfection! Easy to follow instructions, great fit, and super comfy! I purposely made it oversized to cut my wide variety of friends and family. I can’t wait to make the other pieces!

I love this pattern, just finished it over Christmas, very easy to sew. Love it. Thank you for another great pattern, I will be making many more. My husband like it too.

There are good patterns and then there are amazing patterns. Good patterns have the notches match, grainlines make sense and instructions are clear and logical. Then there are amazing patterns. The Fiske Sleepwear Set fits in the amazing patterns. While I've made plus sized (and major adaptations for for Full busts etc) But, nothing compares to the quality of the Fiske Sleepwear Set. The PJs have the proportions are perfect for plus sized wearers. I made the PJs for my daughter in a Size 22 G/Hgraded to 26 at waist and 24 at hip They are amazing and fit her perfectly. She loves lounging in them, and can comfortably run from her dorm room to the bathroom in them -- not worrying whether she'll be dressed appropriately. There is a lot of conversation on her floor about where she got such awesome PJs. Thank you Cashmerette, once again, I can help my daughter build her confidence and allow her to share her fashion sense.

The pattern I have been waiting for! I have already made a matching top and bottom plus robe set for the holidays, plus two pajama pants for everyday use. Great instructions and fit, as always from Cashmerette!
