Authenic Hogwarts Robe Patterns?

[elady25]

Well, depending on how much you know about sewing, you could meld two
or more of the available patterns, or modify one of them.  Also, don't
get locked into the specific "wizard" patterns; look at anything in
the costumes (or regular clothes) that has the lines you want.  If you
need some help figuring it out, wmail me offlist--maybe I can decide
how I want to make my robes (A slightly overweight housewife would
look a bit funny in one of those cute pleated skirts they where in the
movies, eh?

I thought about the WW equivalent of a t-shirt--robes emblazoned with
"Ravenclaw Alumni" or something; any ideas?

Good luck Grant!
