Charlie Caftan Pattern - Print Pattern
I made my Charlie Caftan in the long version from Liberty Lawn and I'm very pleased with it. It's floaty and comfortable and I didn't have any fitting issues (Size 16 with D cup). The dart in the revised version wasn't mentioned in the instructions, which was initially a bit confusing.
I'm a pretty confident beginner ( have made about 10 garments before this)
I was rather outfaced by the instructions for the gathered front and the panel, I didn't think I would get a good result so I "cheated" - I cut the front into 2 pieces across where the gather was, did the gather and then joined in back together. Made the panel with the ties and then top stitched it to the front. That was very easy and I would do it like that again. From then on it was dead easy.
The only difference is there is a seam across the front, which in the patterned fabric I used is pretty unnoticeable.
I'm really happy with the garment, it looks lovely and I will make it again.
Love this pattern and know I will be making more 2021 winter-early spring so I can enjoy them throughout the 2021 season.
J'ai adoré faire ce patron cet été
Il est très bien expliqué.
J'ai choisi un tissu bleu et blanc et j'ai réalisé également un autre dans une cotonnade verte et blanche.
Je vais certainement refaire cette robe car elle convient parfaitement à ma morphologie
I made the version with the pleats. The only difficulty was the center panel !!!! I ended by sewing it in another way... oops
After reading the reviews I decided to make my caftan one size smaller, it’s perfect. I love it, so comfortable and good looking.
Charlie and I eyed each other for a long time and I don't regret taking a further step :)
A nice summer pattern, simple but with a nice detail under the bust.
