SIZE RANGE: XS-XL
| Size (AU) | XS | S | M | L | XL |
| Bust (cm) | 80 | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 |
| Bust (inch) | 31.5 | 35.5 | 39.5 | 43.5 | 47.5 |
| Hip/Seat (cm) | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 | 130 |
| Hip/Seat (inch) | 35.5 | 39.5 | 43.5 | 47.5 | 51.5 |
To determine size, first measure around the bust. Then measure around the hip/seat, 20cm (8") below the natural waist. The tape measure should be firm but not tight. See pattern for more details about choosing your size.
FABRIC & TRIM OUTLINE:
TRIM REQUIREMENTS:Lightweight interfacing (fusing). 18-25mm (3/4-1") binding (optional).
SUGGESTED FABRIC: Your fabric needs drape. If it has any stiffness or a heavy body to it, it’s not going to fall nicely. My #1 recommendation is rayon. It just has such a lovely drape (make sure you prep-wash though). Cotton Voile, Light Quilting Fabric, Silk & Silk-like fabrics, Linen & Linen Blends. The gorgeous prints available to you in summer weight fabrics are endless.
Please note that wearing a Kaftan is not a replacement for sunscreen as all fabrics differ in their sun protection properties.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:
The following table outlines fabric requirements based on 110cm (44") fabric.
The following table outlines fabric requirements based on 110cm (44") fabric.
Please note: (1) The estimates below do not include directional fabrics. I recommend you cut out the pattern & lay the pieces down on a flat surface to help estimate fabric needs for directional fabric. (2) If you are sewing with rayon, remember to allow for shrinkage & buy a little extra. (3) Also it’s wise to pre-wash your fabrics, in particular rayon.
