Burda Hall of Fame Favorite - 5223

I recently whipped up these two latest robe renditions of good old tried and true Burda 5223 in View B. Here's earlier versions in cottons, fleece and flannel (2007, 2008, 2009) I love this pattern, but it is a fabric hog - 5 yards! If I hit the sales right, I can still find good quality and interesting fabrics for my goal of less than $5/yard.

My "Knight in Shining Armor" is actually a not very stretchy knit, thus proving this pattern design can also work very well with a more stable knit.

And it is always fun to zap up that facing edge trim -- setting it on the bias and adding a couple packages of piping. One of these days I'll try a contrast fabric for it and the belt.
