How do I figure out the right size?
This sewing pattern features a maxi-length kaftan dress with a deep V-neckline and wide three-quarter sleeves. Designed with a softly gathered bust, the dress includes a functional drawstring tie at the center front for shaping. The silhouette is relaxed and flows straight from the bust to hem, creating a long, graceful line. The back has a subtle panel shaping detail to reduce bulk, and the sleeves are cut loose for movement and breathability. This style is unlined and intended for lightweight, drapey fabrics.
Styling:
Wear it as a statement resort dress, a cover-up at the beach, or an easy lounge kaftan at home. Add layered necklaces and sandals for a dressed-up look, or keep it minimal for a relaxed vacation mood.
