I am worried this wonāt fit him?
- I understand. This is why every pattern comes with Finished Garment measurements which are based upon our Standardised Body Measurements found in the Size Chart on every product page. The difference between the Body and the Finished Garment measurements are designed with comfort in mind, so you have room to move.
- In addition, each Pattern Range (Boy, Youth, Men and Men Plus) contains 4 sizes, providing flexibility for modification where needed.Ā

-
What fabric should I make this pattern out of?
It depends on the purpose of the robe (dressing gown). Lightweight fabrics for summer such as 100% Cotton, Linen, Linen/Cotton blend, Cotton Searsucker, Cotton Poplin, or Rayon. For the cooler months Terry Towelling or a modern Wool blend works nicely. All these have good wicking properties so they are great for drying off after a shower. For a luxurious look silk or satin fall beautifully in this pattern. Read this article to get fabric suggestions for a Summer Robe.
