Buy the Jacinta Chemise sewing pattern from Primrose Dawn. Made with stretch knits, Jacinta is a fun and flirty short nightgown with princess seam cups, adjustable straps, and a flared skirt. Make it in a soft rayon or bamboo stretch jersey for comfy sleepwear, or lace and mesh for a sexier nightie.
Jacinta has partially lined cups to enclose the seams for comfort and added support, with optional underbust elastic for even more support. The pattern includes multiple cup sizes and mini and mid-thigh length options. Style variations include an elastic finish neckline, folded edge neckline in a contrasting fabric, and lace cups.
For breast cancer survivors (or anyone needing a breast form), mastectomy pocket and flat cup options are included in the pattern.
