Pattern and Instructions: Frenchy Peignoir Set
Meet the Frenchy Peignoir Set! This month’s pattern was so much fun to design—and it’s even more fun to wear! The Frenchy Peignoir Set is a flared trapeze-style nightie and matching robe, with multiple options for length, decoration, and details. Depending on your fabric and lining choice, the peignoir set can be demure, luxurious, or risqué, and the robe brings all the drama with those big bubble sleeves!
We sewed our nighties and robes from sheer nylon tricot chiffon (which dyes beautifully!), and lined the nighties with nylon tricot. For added drama, we used lace sleeves underlined with tulle for one of our robes.
In this month's photos, we've created matching robe and nightie sets out of white sheer and opaque nylon tricot, then easily dyed each nightie and rob using Rit dyes in bright pastel colors. (Swipe to the end of the photos for a scary surprise . . . mwah hah hah!) To get into the glam Halloween spirit, we also created a purple spiderweb option with a lovely Grecian belt so you can hand out candy in style!
Wondering about fabrics and supplies? Check out the written instructions at the bottom of this post for links and recommendations. You'll also find the tiled file (for printing at home on A4 or letter size sheets and taping together) and the A0 file (for printing at a copy shop like pdfplotting.com). Please note that we now have two size blocks, so make sure to download the correct files for the size you're making. If you have any questions about the new range, don't forget to read our blog post with all the details!

can I make the top with bishop sleeves?
I just looked at all the pictures available for this shoot and they are effen awesome and hilarious (the Halloween ones) 🤗❤️😂
This is fantastic! I’ve been looking for a peignoir set pattern! So pretty😊
I love a very large nightie but I'm not sure I would be able to buy the fabric width needed here but I can always piece it together. I've been wanting a nightie pattern for ages but, before this, I've never been able to find one in larger sizes. I like my nighties very large so that if I turn over I'm not strangled or have my circulation cut off. Also, I would make it in pure cotton, not cheap in UK, but there is no way I could sleep in nylon.
Thrifted sheets might work. In my country, there are tons of thrift stores that sells pure cotton bedsheets and duvet covers. Just yesterday, i found a queen sized cotton duvet cover for just for a little under £4
Hey Gertie, The tiling map for the 18-32 isn't matching up. Is there a different map to help with piecing the pattern together?
Thanks for pointing that out! I've uploaded the corrected Instructions file to the post.
So cute, can’t wait to sew this!!
Cute 😍
I just bought some pink with red polka dot rayon.....I think I know what I am going to use it for now!
I’ve been wanting this style of pjs for YEARS!!!! It’s flirty fun cute but still covered
Omgeeeeee!!!!! I could not love this more!!!
Really cute set! It will be cute to make
This would make really great Christmas gifts!

Looove the horror Photos haha
I will probably never sew this set (just not my style + I sleep naked), but it was definitely worth the monthly fee to see the pictures. What a FANTASTIC photoshoot! You really rocked this one! <3 But, come to think of it... The dress pattern will probably make a really nice summer dress of some thin lawn. So I might use this pattern after all!
Yes yes yes!!! 😁 I fell in love with the Harlow pyjamas (sewn myself 3 versions) and it's been a while I started wonder whether is Gertie coming up with nightie one day. My dream came true and it is even cuter then I imagined. Thank you so much, lady G 🤗
I have been hoping something like this would come along 😍
This set is all the girly glamour I never knew I wanted! Absolutely stunning as always Gertie! ❤️
💜🧡🖤💜🧡🖤🧡💜🖤
OMGeeeeee! I have been trying to find a plus size peignoir set pattern! I had some back in the 80's handed down to me and I loved how girly and comfy they were. You have made my dream come true!
I love the cobweb set
I love this! So cute! Thank you for your hard work. I really love subscribing to this Patreon.
Will the sheer 3/4 sleeves fit onto the nightie?
From the line art, it looks like that's possible.
I love this so much! 😍
So lovely! Thank you...a chance to make pretty loungware!

This was not what I was thinking at all, but I love it! I've wanted a peignoir for a LONG time!
This is just adorable. I’m about a year behind, of course, and I’m making a Binx Rita for a Disneyworld trip right before Halloween, and the Morticia Bryant gown expansion for closer to home. I really want to make this, though!!! There’s just not enough time….
