Resort Kaftan

Description

The late 1960s and early 1970s brought the height of popularity of the kaftan in mainstream fashion. This modern kaftan was inspired by the traditional kaftan of Morocco, where it has been worn for many centuries.

This pattern is for a typical early 1970s kaftan – a V-neck, empire waist, pullover dress. The flattering drape of this full dress makes it comfortable and graceful. The pattern is floor-length with short sleeves and optional inside ties for shaping. Bodice and panels around the dress allow for mixing of fabric prints. Make this in a soft cotton for a perfect poolside or beach cover-up. Or, make it from a flowing silk and dress it up for an elegant evening. It can go from poolside to brunch to evening attire easily.

This pattern is easy to sew, as well as easy to embellish. Add embroidery to the neckline or sleeves or hem.

Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight fabrics with good drape such as silk, cotton gauze, voile, lawn, silk/cotton blends, handkerchief linen, rayon challis, Tencel

Sizes: XS–3XL
