Blue Velvet Robe

Can you tell the summer larp season is nearly upon us?  Yes I've got lots of sewing on right now!  Here's a robe I made my friend Tyrion to celebrate his character's ic promotion.

It's blue velvet lined with purple cotton and trimmed with purple grosgrain ribbon.

It has no fastenings as the eventual plan is that it'll be held in place by a hero belt.

The sides are open to the waist to allow for lunging and it has wizardy sleeves and a mandarin collar.

The lapels are accidental but everyone agreed they look good! I drafted the pattern myself with inspiration from a picture Tyrion sent me and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!
