I want to make a nightgown for my mum. Does anyone know where I could find some good free online patterns?

I want it to be a sleeveless light nighgown for summer with a matching robe. I've sewn a bit before but nothing this complex and I'm a little lost. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.

Try this page. I think you could eliminate the sleeve part and turn the edges in around the armhole or use bias tape around it. You might make one out of an old sheet first.

Go to Adult clothing patterns, then click on Late 15th Century Italian Chemise Pattern, then click on to where they have moved it to.

Here are some more free patterns for you.
