Refashion a Night Gown into a Top and Shorts Set

How to Refashion a Night Gown

Short and Tank Pajama Set

I got a lovely little night gown at the thrift store.  I picked it up becuase it was great fabirc. Super soft and looked brand new.  However I don't sleep in Night Gowns.  I like to sleep in a tank top and shorts.  So I decited to take the night gown and make it into somthing I couldl get more use out of.


This is a quick before and after photo I took 

You can see all the step by step directions on my blog.  I also have a lot of other refashions on my blog.

For this pair of shorts I used a method that I have never used before for the waist of the shorts.  I could have done a lot of things, like add a casing for a draw string or add elastic.  But I wanted to do somthing more unique.  

This is how the shorts ended up

I added a waist band from another pair of yoga pants.  I like how it worked out and think I will try in agian.  I did this so that I could leave some raw edges.  I think this could also work well with a draw string, maybe I will do that next time.
