Sizing & Fit
FIND YOUR SIZE
The kaftan dress is a very easy fit and since it is a-line shaped 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".

Kaftan
The pattern is brilliant, l made the Kaftan in pure linen!
United StatesNeckline help for me too, please!
I am now near the end of my second sewing of this pattern. For the first I gave up on the neckline and rigged an alternative. I was excited to hear that you posted a photo tutorial but I cannot figure it out even with it! Please help!
The Assembly Line Shop
Hi Jen, you'll find an alternate neckline that has been tested, and approved, by some of the makers that found the first one confusing: https://sewingjournal.theassemblylineshop.com/2022/07/20/alternate-neckline-for-the-kaftan-dress/ Hope this helps! Best, Anki
United Statesflummoxed by the final steps
Even with the tutorial, I’m totally confused about how to finish this dress. I’ve spent hours today trying to figure it out and I’m going to give up. This is really frustrating because I’m a decently experienced sewist and I’ve had great success with many other TAL patterns.
The Assembly Line Shop
Hi Molly, so sorry to hear the neckline was confusing. We have worked out an alternative, easier way to make it - I will email it to you! Fingers crossed that will make it more clear. Best, Anki
United KingdomJust didn’t work
I could not get the neckline to work. I will try again, but my first attempt failed!

Hi Caroline, so sorry to hear the neckline was confusing. We have worked out an easier way to make it - I will email it to you! Best, Anki
United KingdomVideo tutorial please
We cannot figure out the pleat at the front. A video would be great. I think this is probably a very easy pattern if you are experienced.
