Description
Charlie is a must-have pattern for summer elegance, offering a fresh take on the classic caftan. Each version of the pattern includes a deep V neckline, short dolman sleeves, an inset center panel, and spacious pockets.
View A features modern and architectural pleats beneath the bust for a bold and dramatic look. Alternatively, for a softer and more romantic dress, Views B and C feature a gently gathered bodice with an optional waist tie, creating a figure-skimming silhouette available in two different skirt lengths.
You can also customise your caftan by selecting between a dramatically wide sleeve or a slightly higher cut for more coverage. With its versatile design and elegant aesthetic, Charlie is the perfect pattern for creating a statement piece for any warm-weather occasion.
Fabric Suggestions
Light to medium weight wovens such as linen, chambray, tencel, silk, chiffon, viscose challis, crepe de chine, batiste and voile.
Notions
Lightweight fusible interfacing, marking tool, polyester thread
