PDF Sewing Pattern | Kaftan Era Dress & Blouse

A relaxed fitting blouse and dress in 2 lengths with a drop shoulder sleeve, front and back yoke and lightly gathered bodice to provide some fullness but not too much volume. A cuff on a 3/4 sleeve with soft gathers and a slightly curved hem with a longer back than front for top version. An external front facing gives true kaftan vibes.

Designed as a relaxed blouse to wear as part of a set, with jeans or shorts that is comfortable and stylish, and an alternative to a T-shirt. Dress version has side splits, can be made full length or to knee for a true beach to bar garment. It has side pockets, of course :)

Sizing is S - XXL. Suggest checking sleeve length & skirt length you may need to add or take off at these points.
