Moroccan Kaftan Sewing Pattern PDF | V-Neck, Flared Sleeves & Trim Band | Eid Festive Dress | Intermediate | Sizes S-XL, A4 + A0

WHAT YOU GET: 2 PDF files. (1) A4 instructions, size chart and measurements. (2) A0 file with all pattern pieces at full size, to be printed at a print shop (not for a home printer). THE MOROCCAN KAFTAN V-neck, flared sleeves, trim band. The festive kaftan: ankle length, V-neckline finished with a facing, flared sleeves and the signature trim band running down the front. Made for Eid, weddings and special occasions, with hidden in-seam pockets. SLEEVES AND ARMHOLE: this kaftan has a straight armhole, a relaxed dropped-shoulder cut with the sleeves set in flat. It is not a fitted pattern with a curved armhole and a set-in sleeve cap, so the shoulder seam sits lower and the sleeve falls loose. If you want a tailored shoulder line, this is not the pattern for you. WHAT YOU GET - A 12-page A4 PDF: 9 pages of instructions + 3 pattern sheets (print test, measurements for every piece, full-size neckline template) - An A0 bonus PDF: the sleeve, the facings and the pocket at full size (for print shops or plotters) - Size chart (bust, waist, hips) and finished garment measurements for S, M, L and XL - Yardage table, cutting layout and the 3 cutting mistakes that cost the most - Step-by-step instructions with diagrams, a quality-check list and a care guide - Seam allowances included everywhere: nothing to add HYBRID PATTERN The neckline and its facings print at full size. The front, back and sleeve are simple geometric shapes that you draw in a few minutes from the measurements provided (or print from the A0 bonus).
