The Kaftan Dress, an Assembly Line pattern
The Kaftan Dress, an Assembly Line pattern
Welcome to The Assembly Line’s interpretation of this iconic shape meant for summer breezes. This elegant shape is perfect for the beach (with jandals) or cocktails (with fancy sandals?). The Kaftan dress features raglan sleeves, an overlap V-neck that creates a pleat in the front, side slits, and in-seam pockets.
Model in the white dress is 170 cm tall and wearing a size S, and model in the stripy dress is 165 cm tall and wearing a shortened XL.
This is a multi-size pattern that comes in two size ranges, including either XS-L or XL-3XL.
Seam allowances are included in the pattern.
The Kaftan dress is a very easy fit. Because of its A-line shape, use your chest measurement for sizing. If you have broad hips you could also check your seat measurement to ensure you get that "kaftan flow".
