    The unisex Charm Cabana Set is your ticket to casual swagger, backyard barbeques, and poolside posing. Inspired by mid-century menswear but made for anyone with attitude, this two-piece set in sizes XXS–5XL features a breezy camp-collar shirt and high-waisted shorts.

    Whether you make it in crisp linen, cool chambray, or barkcloth loud enough to get you noticed from across the beach, the Cabana Set is equal parts retro resort wear and wearable summer fun. It also makes a wonderful pajama set in crisp cotton or smooth silk!

    For the shorts, we recommend light-to medium weight wovens: any of the fabrics recommended for the shirt would be acceptable, as well as cotton sateen, twill, and lightweight denim. Woven polyester microfiber (also called board short fabric) would also be acceptable.

    Fabric Notes

    We recommend lightweight drapey fabrics in natural fibers that will be soft against your skin: rayon challis, Bemberg/cupro, and viscose; soft cottons like lawn, sateen, and voile; nylon tricot; and silk crepe de chine, habotai, or charmeuse. Cotton or rayon lining fabrics and lightweight silk/cotton blends are also a good choice.

    We recommend against using polyester fabrics for this project, since man-made fibers will trap heat and moisture against your skin.

    For the tap pants gusset: we recommend natural fiber woven or jersey fabric. Cotton, bamboo, and silk are all appropriate.

    For the tap pants interfacing: we recommend fusible lightweight or very lightweight woven or tricot interfacing for the button guard on the tap pants. For sheer fabrics and lace, we recommend underlining the button guard with silk organza in your skin tone instead.

    For the optional lace: we recommend any non-stretch, light- to medium-weight lace. Lace appliqués, lace yardage, and lace trims are all wonderful options!

    Fabric Notes

    For the Monroe Dress or Pleated Skirt, we recommend light- to medium-weight wovens with plenty of drape: cotton lawn, batiste, and twill; silk twill and crepe; wool crepe and gabardine; linen and linen blends; silk or polyester lamé; and rayon/lyocell/tencel challis, twill, or gabardine. Light- to medium-weight wovens with less drape, like cotton poplin or broadcloth, are suitable for the bodice and slim skirt, but will result in a stiffer look on the pleated skirt. Stretch wovens are acceptable, but knits are not suitable for this design.

    For the lining, we recommend light- to medium-weight cottons and lining fabrics. You will be sewing boning channeling to the lining, so it should be sturdy enough to stand up to the weight of the steel boning.

    For the optional interior bra, we recommend heavyweight nylon/spandex power net with 50% stretch. Power mesh is not a suitable substitute.

    Fabric Notes

    The Waist Cincher requires specialty fabrics: cotton coutil and heavyweight power net are required, and recommended fabric sources are included in the instructions booklet. If desired, a medium-weight woven may be used as a fashion fabric, in addition to the coutil and power net. Fashion fabric recommendations include: silk taffeta, dupioni, satin, and shantung; cotton broadcloth and sateen; or a natural-fiber brocade. 

    Recommended fabrics for the Petticoat include: lightweight cottons like batiste, lawn, and voile; rayon challis; and silk crepe de chine or charmeuse for the petticoat yoke. For the tiers of the petticoat, we recommend lightweight-wovens that will be soft against your skin like silk or synthetic organza or organdy. Chiffon can also be used, but it will create a softer petticoat with less structure. 

    Waist Cincher Supplies

    • Coutil fabric
    • Heavyweight power net fabric
    • Fashion fabric (optional)
    • Thread to match
    • Eight 7-1/2 in (19 cm) lengths of 1/4-in-wide (6 mm) flat steel boning
    • 2 yards (1.8 m) of 1/4-in-wide (6 mm) spiral steel boning
    • Metal cutters and pliers
    • Boning tips or Teflon tape
    • 1 yard (0.9 m) of 3/8-in-wide (1 cm) boning casing/channeling
    • 1 yard (0.9 m) of 3/4-in-wide (1.9 cm) twill tape
    • Twenty size 00 (5.1 mm) grommets and washers
    • Grommet setting tool
    • 2 to 3-1/2 yards (1.8 to 3.2 m) of 1/4-in-wide (6 mm) picot elastic
    • 5 to 8 yards (4.5 to 7.3 m) of 3/8-in-wide (1 cm) sturdy ribbon or 1/4-in-wide (6 mm) corset lacing

    PICOT ELASTIC NOTE: the plain, flat portion of the elastic (without the picots) should measure ¼-in-wide (6 mm). Different suppliers will measure and label their picot elastic differently. Before cutting your pattern pieces, compare your picot elastic width to what is recommended, measuring just the regular elastic portion (not including the picots). If your elastic is smaller or larger than ¼-in (6 mm), you will need to alter the upper and lower seam allowances of the Waist Cincher accordingly.

    Is This Really Beginner-Friendly?

    This pattern was written with beginners in mind, with clear explanations, simple illustrations, and a sew-along video for every single step.

    Measure yourself around your upper bust (under your armpits and above your breasts, without a bra on), the fullest part of your bust (while wearing your preferred bra), the smallest part of your waist, and the fullest part of your hips (this is likely around the fullest part of your butt). Make sure to hold the measuring tape snugly and parallel to the ground. Compare your body measurements to the size chart.

    Find your upper bust measurement on the size chart to find your garment size, and then scan down the cup sizes in that garment size column to find your cup size. For instance, a 37-inch upper bust will make you a size 10, and a 39-inch full bust means you need a B cup. Don’t worry if your waist doesn’t match the size 10 column’s measurement of 32 inches; you can grade the waist in or out as needed. It is most important to choose a size to fit your upper bust and cup size, as the waist is easier to adjust up or down.

    Sewing pattern sizes are very different from ready-to-wear garments and bra sizes, so be sure to work with your measurements when choosing a size.

    Charm’s 2-20 size range is designed for a body with an hourglass shape. Our 18-34 size range is designed for a body with less waist definition.

    If you have never used a PDF pattern before, this short video is full of tips: How to Use A PDF Pattern.

    It will show you how to choose which PDF format to use, how to print just your size(s), and how to easily assemble and cut out your pattern pieces.

    We offer digital patterns in two formats: letter-sized PDFs to print at home and A0 sized PDFs to print at a copy shop. In the US, we highly recommend printing A0 files with The Plotted Pattern. Outside of the US, these printers have been recommended.

    The Maria Pencil Skirt can be used instead of the full skirt, as shown in Gertie’s magenta sheath dress. It has pockets!

    There are two simple hacks (available to our members) for the dress. The sweetheart neckline hack and the ruched princess seam hack can be used on any similar dress.

    Meet the Betty Dress! This design, inspired by a true vintage dress worn by the character Betty Draper on Mad Men, is a charming classic. The beautifully sculpted bodice is accented with a ruched cummerbund (a lovely opportunity to play with contrasting fabrics) and optional back bow.

    Make it with either the frothy bubble skirt, the full gathered skirt, or the slim pencil skirt for three very different looks. There’s even a dramatic bishop sleeve option with a slit opening, perfect for showcasing a lace border—and showing a bit of skin!

    Fabric Notes

    Main Fabric: light- to medium-weight wovens: cottons like poplin, sateen, and lawn; silks with body like dupioni and shantung; linen and linen blends; brocade; sheers like flocked tulle, lace, and eyelet.

    Lining: light- to medium-weight cottons and lining fabrics. You will be sewing boning channeling to the lining, so it should be sturdy enough to stand up to the weight of the steel boning. The petal lining will be visible, so you may want to choose a contrasting fabric.

    Underlining: use a sturdy muslin (calico) for opaque dress fabrics. For sheers, pick an underlining that will be both sturdy and attractive (since it will be visible from the outside of your dress). Good choices include cotton broadcloth, sturdy silks like shantung or faille, and sturdy lining fabrics.

    Supplies

    • Dress and lining fabric
    • Contrast fabric for petal lining and/or bra (optional)
    • Muslin (or other fabric) for bodice underlining
    • Thread to match fabric
    • 3 yards (2.7 m) of ¼-inch-wide (6 mm) spiral steel boning
    • Metal cutters and pliers
    • Boning tips or Teflon tape
    • 3 yards (2.7 m) of ½-inch-wide (1.3 cm) boning channeling or bias tape
    • 18-inch zipper

    This dress has a unique fit due to the fitted front, loosely flowing back, and interior belted waist. The measurements provided below are a little different from the usual Charm patterns. The front bust measurement is the finished measurement on the dress front from side dart to side dart. To compare this to your body measurement, measure the fullest part of your bust from underarm to underarm. We have not given a full bust or hip measurement since the dress is so free-flowing and generously cut in the back. The cinched waist measurement reflects the finished garment with the interior belt closed. Keep in mind that this measurement is approximate since the interior belt has elastic as well as having adjustable hooks and eyes, so it has some flexibility in fit.
