The open robe was a frankenstein project. I used the Elegant Ladies Closet cross over gown for the bodice base and then I used Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion for guidance. The fabric originally started out as a Civil War Ball Gown about 6 years ago, and it just never inspired me. So I hacked the fabric away to make my little open robe. I love it, it's soooo comfy. Thanks :-)
