Wow! What a beautiful addition to your cruise wardrobe. I have a beautiful sheer curtain I thrifted to make a Kaftan. Thanks for sharing your make!

Don't worry about cutting up a sari. South Asian women cut them up all the time to make skirts when they live in the West if they don't want to wear saris all the time. Saris are beautiful, but they aren't sacred. I was married to an Indian and wore mostly saris for the entire marriage. The only saris I would not cut up are the hand-woven ones. It wouldn't work anyway to try to make a skirt out of those. My hand-woven saris will stay saris. But then, I don't mind wearing them even today. Except for the border, saris are simply six yards of material. And you can make a long skirt to wear under them and wear any top. I used to wear long-sleeved T-shirts with my saris.

This looks great. Thanks for the tutorial. It would be great if you made the reveal of you wearing it much longer, especially after all of that work.

100% agreed! Kaftans are THE BEST!I even made a hippie fringe one, out of t-shirt knit material I got with an autumn pattern on it, and cut fringes in the sides, like people did to T-Shirts back in the day. I get compliments all the time on it.

OH MY GOD ~!?! SAREES AS A KAFTAN MATERIAL AAAAAAAAA i have this super flowy bouncy fabric.. i think it's lycell mix, but its not longe nough for a kaftan to the floor.. would it look weird if it were capri length? 10:10 if you wanna make sure your fabric ruler doesnt move, buy a tiny amount of dycem and cut it into squares. it'll naturally stick to your ruler, and keep the fabric from shifting! i've seen products that are like velcro that you can attach to the ruler, but dycem is very thin the ribbon did a great job correcting the neckline.. it looks intentiojnal, not like a quick fix!

I get the struggle of finding black eyelet. I have also made what I called a parasol holster. I used a failed costumes sleeve. I bound the top and bottom leaving the bottom open as well because my parasol had a decorative tip and lacy edge. I added a loop so I could put it on my belt. Hands free!

I like how the dress turned out. It fits you well and that you get a lot of joy in wearing it, is priceless. For future reference, you can sew in bra strap holders on the inside of your straps of a sundress. It's a couture thing that was done until the 70s. I've never lined or interlined my eyelet or lace fabric dresses. Instead, I wear a full length slip under. The hardest part of pattern adjustment is making it small enough for my flat chest and still look nice.

@velvetvert94316 ай бұрын
That dress came out beautifully. The shape suits you very well, and the choice of interlining fabric is lovely to let the lace pop a bit without detracting from the overall little black dress effect.

si lo que enseñas es un corsé le tienes que dar diseño de corsé y ponerle los botones o corchetes o remaches delanteros y detrás ponerle ojetes para las cordoneras o cuerdas que se adaptan o amoldan o forman o aprietan o ajustan en función del cuerpo de la mujer o chica que lo llleva puesto
