How to create a skirt in pink converted from pyjama bottoms. Dress 247.
Photo by Trevor Sharot. Angela in pink vintage garment, top and skirt. The skirt was made by converting the cotton trousers or pyjama bottoms. The brand is vintage. Comfy clothes were in Queens Park and went out of business.
The pattern on the front of the top is white bamboo leaves with small Chinese writing. The base colour is coral pink.
I was looking for a night dress or day dress. I have a day dress which is sleeveless, designed to be worn over a contrasting short or long sleeved under garment. . The top in the same colour.
Comfy clothes came in large loose sizes. They were expensive but had sales once or twice a year. When they went out of business I dashed over to buy what I could.
The garments were stored by them folded and had no hanging straps.
If you have pyjamas or pyjama bottoms which you don't wear, or pyjama bottom loose lounge wear, you can turn them into a skirt suit. Just slit up the inside leg with scissors. I used pinking shears. You can wear them over a short or long slip or leave them loose to show your legs like a cheongsam. If I have time, I sew them down to just below the hip on both sides. Or wear a long jacket. You can also attach ribbons on both sides, or elasticated ribbon to tie in a bow.

If you put bamboo first your search on the internet brings up bamboo fabric, so it's better to dry cotton pyjamas and then pattern bamboo .
