This knit nightgown was designed for both comfort and style. Maeve is semi-fitted with a scoop neck, adjustable straps, princess seams for shaping or color-blocking, and a shelf bra. The slit at the front hem adds a delicate detail.

This fabric is Art Gallery Cotton Spandex Jersey in Lore and Legend from Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics.
Fabric & Fit
Fabrics to shop: Sew Maeve in comfortable knits with at least 30% stretch, such as cotton, rayon, bamboo jersey, and rib knits. Cotton jersey will give you a more structured silhouette compared to a drapey jersey, like bamboo or rib.
Notions: This nightgown has adjustable straps and a shelf bra, so you will need plush back elastic, clear elastic, and two bra slides and rings. We trust the bra-making resource guide from Cloth Habit.
Fabrics to avoid: Avoid ponte or sweatshirt fleece as they will be too thick. Knits that tend to roll make this project a little more challenging, so you may need to try using some stabilizers.
Fit: This nightgown has princess seams for shaping, and the most common fit adjustments will be a small or full bust adjustment and an armhole depth adjustment.
