Even as quarantine restrictions loosen, we all seem to be clinging to our newly revamped comfortable wardrobes. Comfy chic is a trend that will likely be slow to dissipate, especially as the temperatures rise. Who can say no to an adorable pair of terry shorts or a super breathable linen knit tank? Luckily, we’ve tried out all of our loungewear and sleepwear patterns and we’re here to tell you which ones you should be adding to your summer rotation!
The Saffron & Ursi Ensemble
Easy two-piece outfits are a summer staple, and you can’t go wrong with extra comfy this season. Our Saffron Ensemble includes a crop top and shorts, but for this outfit I paired the top with a cropper version of the Ursi bottoms. French terry is soft, cozy, and breathable – and it doesn’t fray! So hemming the bottom of your shorts is completely optional. Plus, the Ursi includes pockets!

The Mallow Dress
Everyone needs an extra giant tee for lounging and Mood’s waffle knit if the perfect choice for yours. I made this one with the Mallow Dress pattern, but skipped the skirt pieces. Instead, I elongated the front and back top pieces by about 10″. If you’d like a longer sleep gown-type silhouette, I’d try lengthening it by 15″ or 20″.

The Molina Tunic & Saffron Ensemble
Reminiscent of our first two-piece loungewear outfit above, this version is perfect if you want a little more coverage. Made here with a slightly translucent linen knit, this ensemble is perfect for some poolside lazing. To copy this version, skip the facings on the tunic and simply hem the neckline and armscyes.

The Poinsettia Dress
A comfy sleepwear slip is a wardrobe must, so why not make it adorable? It may seem a bit counter intuitive to make a loungewear slip from a cocktail dress pattern, but by skipping the facings and adding a couple straps, this dress is as comfortable as can be in a stretch jersey!

The original Poinsettia dress pattern calls for a center back zipper. How do you eliminate that to convert the dress to a slip?
Hi there! Since a stretch jersey was used for this loungewear version, a zipper is not required and I cut the back on the fold. 🙂

You guys are amazing. I’ve been searching for a pattern like this. Thank you for making these patters available for free. Love it.
For the Mallow dress do you think a double cotton gauze would work?
Hi Danielle! We made a version of the Mallow in double cotton gauze here! Just be sure to widen your neckline to account for less stretch. 🙂
Can I use cotton fabric for the poinsetta dress?
Hi Rach! Yes, you definitely can, but I would recommend choosing a cotton fabric with a little bit of stretch, or sizing up if it does not have stretch. 😀
