Not just any bathrobe, sister-robe

I make all kinds of Japanese clothes especially kosode, which later evolved into kimono. Recently, my sister wanted a kimono style bathrobe and sent a request. I asked her if I could make it as a present. I told her to pick fabric and I would buy it and make the robe. I pointed her to fabric.com and recommended that she consider Liberty of London tana lawn. She picked a beautiful sunflower pattern in my favorite colors.

No pressure now, I need to make sure it will look good and be comfortable and will fit her. She is about 4 inches taller than I am. So I worked on it, then reworked, then said, I’m done.
