This Cute DIY SKIMS Cozy Dupe Looks Just Like the Original

Tools and materials:

• 4 Yards pink Sherpa fabric
• Measuring tape
• Fabric marker
• Scissors
• Robe to use as a pattern
• Sewing machine
• Safety pin
• Pins or clips
• Soft waistband elastic (2 inches wide)

1. Make a robe pattern

First, you need to draft a pattern using an existing robe that you have. It doesn’t have to be exact, as robes aren’t form-fitting, but it will help you get the general shape you need.

My robe pattern was shorter than I wanted and short-sleeved, but I adjusted the measurements later.

2. Adjust the pattern

I wanted my SKIMS cozy robe to be longer than my existing robe. So, I folded my Sherpa fabric, measured 48 inches along the fold, then extended my pattern (front and back pieces) to that length.

3. Cut the fabric

Cut out the front and back pieces from the Sherpa fabric.

Snip where the sleeve ends to ensure your sleeves align perfectly.

4. Create the robe belt loops

Cut out two small rectangles of fabric and fold them lengthwise, right sides together. These will be the belt loops. Sew down along the non-folded side, then turn the fabric right sides out.

You can use a safety pin to turn the fabric, to make it easier.

5. Insert the belt loops

My front and back robe pieces are pinned together already (right sides together). Measure 7 inches down from where the sleeves end and pin the robe belt loops inside the fabric.

6. Sew the robe

Zigzag and overlock stitch all around the pinned areas.

7. Lengthen the sleeves

My original pattern was for a short-sleeved robe, so I extended the sleeves to 24 inches, to achieve the oversized, cozy look that I want. Do that for both sleeves, then cut them out.

8. Pin and sew the sleeves

Pin the sleeve pieces together, then zigzag stitch along the side seams.

9. Attach the sleeves

Line up the sleeves with the armhole and pin right sides together. Pin at the seams first, then pin around, to ensure everything is even. Sew with a zigzag and overlock stitch all the way around.

10. Create the waist belt

For the waist belt, cut out a long strip on the fold, 58 inches long and 3 inches wide. Pin right sides together and sew with a straight stitch all the way around, closing up both ends, but leaving an opening to turn the fabric later.

Turn the fabric right side out and close the opening with a slipstitch.

11. Make the tank top

The tank top is actually the easiest part. I took a tank top that fit me well, shortened it a bit, then used it as a pattern to cut out my fabric. I placed it on top of the folded Sherpa fabric and cut around it, making sure that the front has a lower neckline than the back.

12. Pin and sew the tank top

Pin the front and back pieces of the tank top, right sides together. Sew the pieces together with a zigzag stitch.

13. Make the shorts

The shorts are also pretty easy. I folded up some leggings to use as a pattern, as I wanted that biker short look. I placed the leggings on the folded Sherpa fabric and cut around them, leaving a little room for seam allowance. Do this twice to create two leg pieces.

14. Pin and sew

First, pin and sew the leg area - don’t touch the crotch area yet!

Insert one leg into the other leg and pin right sides together. Sew all the way around the u-shape of the crotch with a zigzag stitch.

15. Create a waistband for the shorts

For the waistband, I’m using soft waistband elastic that is 2 inches wide. Measure it around your waist to get a snug fit.

16. Cut out the waistband

Place the elastic on the folded Sherpa fabric and cut around it to create the waistband.

17. Pin and sew the waistband

Pin the waistband to the shorts, then sew down, leaving a small opening for the elastic. Lastly, feed the elastic through the waistband, sew the ends together, and close the opening.
