SimplicitySimplicity 8723 Harry Potter Cosplay and Halloween Costume Sewing Pattern, Kids Teens and Adult Sizes XS-XL

Just finished the robe and top. Easy to follow directions and to make. My granddaughter is excited to be Hermione for Halloween.

Love this pattern.This is my second one!It has a lot to offer- there’s a shirt pattern, a tie pattern and the robe- in kids XS to L and also a whole another pattern set in adult XS to L, all included. I’ve only made the robe (three times so far)I used flannel and skipped the interfacing, and it was really really easy to make. I’ve bought two of this pattern to get various sizes.In my humble opinion, this may run a bit large. Normally I’m adult XXL and the adult M was comfortable on me, but it’s easy to fit to size, and robes are by nature big and flowing.The Gryffindor robe is for a child and was also just a bit large but kids sizes are always tricky, and she loved it so much anyway. Heck, it’ll fit in a week the way kids grow lol.I’ve sewn forever and found this super easy, but I’m sure a beginner could handle this pattern too. Simplicity always gives great directions and illustrations. (And if you get stuck go turn your own clothes inside out and see how they’re made.)PS: to reviewer ang- I added wand pockets too, (on the contrast interfacing.)

Great pattern! Fits amazingly.

Perfect pattern for all your wizarding robes! Easy to follow directions!

This was my first attempt to follow a pattern. Maybe that’s why it was a bit confusing. However, my son’s Halloween costume did turn out pretty awesome.

My young customer really enjoyed the finish product.Thank you for providing this pattern at a reasonable price ❣️

Despite my commentary, the items came just as expected and worked great. My only sadness is that it doesn't have a full lining, but that's easy to make and incorporate. Everything else was my own foolish inability to make piece with the sewing gods and thus had to do a lot of.....fixing.

My grandkids and I are enjoying reading through the HP books. They enjoy the "magic" and the imagination as I do. When they decided to be characters from the series for Halloween, I was thrilled. This pattern was easy to use. Took about a day per robe. I got really good material so I don't think I saved much over purchasing at Universal but I enjoyed making for my little ones.
