These are the Fifi Pyjamas from Tilly And The Buttons. I’ve seen these around and have always thought they were super cute. The description states the pattern is a delicate camisole that is cut on the bias for a flowing shape, soft pleated cups, princess seams in the back, bias binding straps and curved hem elastic shorts. This pattern is actually quite simple, but takes longer than you might think. There are pleats, french seams and self-made bias binding. Put all of that together and you get a really special pair of pajamas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the shorts I made a size 5 with no modifications. It has you measure your middle waist, about 2 inches from your natural waist, and mine was 37″. You’re supposed to deduct 10% and add room for seam allowance but I went with just the 90% result of 33″ and didn’t add the seam allowance since I like my elastic to be a bit tighter. I stitched it on with the recommended zig-zag stitch and the fit is perfect. These are really comfortable!

 

 

The fabric is made from a beautiful poplin from Organic Cotton Plus*. It looks like the have sold out of the swallows but they have a lovely dandelion print that would look amazing as an Emery dress. I love how the organic cotton feels on my skin and it’s soft enough for sleep – so yay! I’m all about poplins lately. I know I usually go with a black/white print but this time around I wanted something a bit more demure and girlie since it’s sleepwear. Plus, I always want animals on my clothes!
