The Suvi caftan dress is an easy and versatile sewing pattern that includes two variations: a casual mini dress, and a bohemian maxi dress. Both designs have a deep V-neck, extended shoulder sleeves, and plenty of ease, which is gathered at the waist with a cord. The maxi dress also includes another waist cord, and gathered shoulders for a more elegant look. This design works well in a wide range of fabrics, and by varying the material you can make it into a relaxed everyday dress, an evening gown, or anything in between.
Fabric Recommendations:
For both variations, choose a lightweight, non-stretch fabric. For an airy and voluminous look, pick a fabric without drape, such as double gauze, cotton lawn or washed linen. For a more flowy and elegant result, choose a drapey fabric, such as viscose challis, crepe, or satin.
This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Check the finished measurements for your size and, if necessary, select a size smaller than usually if you want the garment to be more fitted.
