What’s a house gown? A house gown is a gown you wear in your house for no particular reason. The house gown is beautiful, it’s made of a lovely fabric. Maybe it’s a slinky little number that you just can’t pull off without a complicated bra. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to wear a bra with your house gown. Who is gonna see you? Only the people who routinely see you braless anyway. Maybe it’s a lace weight vintagey thing with a bajillion holes to catch on things and a train that will get ruined on the sidewalk. If it’s a house gown, that doesn’t matter because you’re probably not going to leave your house in it anyway. Where do you have to go all dressed up fancy like that? You’re tired and just want to sit on the couch watching Law & Order and knitting impractical garments. That’s what the house gown is for.

It took me about six months to finish my house gown and I made significant modifications to the pattern without making significant modifications to the design. I’m offering it for free because it’s a rewrite of an existing publicly available pattern and not an original design.

Once I figure out how to properly photograph this M A S S I V E dress, I promise I will put a decent photo of the finished project up.

PLEASE NOTE: This is the first pattern I’ve ever written and it’s probably not the easiest project I could start with. I’ve tried my best to put an accurate stitch count in this but there’s a good chance my math is off. I welcome corrections on this pattern. If your size is not listed here, or you have questions about the design, fit, written pattern or sizing, please feel free to reach out to me directly.
