I made a beautiful house coat/ robe using this pattern and stretch velvet. I’m glad I made a toile first, because I discovered the notches located where the back neckline and shoulder seam meet, that you’re supposed to clip to, were positioned a little too far in. Also, some of the instructions are cut off. If you have some experience sewing, it’s no problem and a great resource. Could be a little confusing for a beginner though.
The pattern is really easy to follow and assemble, the grammar of the instructions is a bit old but understandable with the images

PDF - 1940's Pattern: 'Donna' Wrap Around Housecoat, Robe, Dressing Gown - Bust 36” (91cm) - Download
This 1940s robe/housecoat turned out beautiful!! Great pattern, easy to follow. I made the facings in a different material to add some highlights. Minimal instructions so you need some sewing knowledge.
Great pattern, tricky to understand initially (it's the original instructions) but came together beautifully and easy to alter, thank you!
