One metre of this Prada 100% Silk Satin has been sitting in my stash since last summer! I've been too scared to cut it up...I'm thinking silk nightie....any suggestions?
Happy Valentines Day!

Oo it's too pretty to be just a nightie. What about a camisole or something that you can waer out? :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! I agree too pretty for a nightie. I love how it is draped on the dress form. How about a simple one shouldered top? Or a dress with the bottom in a silk satin black or blue?
ReplyDeleteOMG Collette...that is one fabulous piece of fabric. Far to fab to cut up - Why dont you do what I do with its sister piece - the red Prada hearts you brought back from one of your Europe buying trips. I sleep with mine under my pillow !!!!
ReplyDeleteI think a slinky nightie is fabulous, who cares if no one else sees it, who wouldnt want to slip into a 'I heart Prada' nightie on a hot summer night! Sooooo Jealous!
ReplyDeleteI think it is too wonderful not to share out and about - a draped top as Sandra suggests is a nice idea..Vicki
ReplyDeleteWhat about a simple cami & a pair of short boxers with a cool trim ....wear to bed or wear the cami out. It would work so well for both....Keri
ReplyDeleteKeep it simple and definately into something you can share - with more than one other person!
ReplyDeleteI have adapted the pattern I made for Stella (similar to the one your girls made) to suit an older mix (bit more shape front and back). It's terribly simple but sometmes a little goes a long way - I'll put photos up tonight.
I like Noosa Girl's idea of sleeping with it under your pillow. I have fabrics from YEARS ago that I can't cut into because they are so precious!
