Named Clothing, Suvi Caftan Mini or Maxi Dress, Digital PDF Pattern

The Suvi caftan dress is an easy and versatile 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.

Sizes: EUR 23-56/ US 0-24/ UK 4-28. See chart in photos for sizing guide, finished garment measurements, and fabric requirements. 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.

Fabric suggestions:  choose a lightweight, non-stretch fabric. For an airy and voluminous look, pick a fabric with less 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.
