Last week, I was finally sewed up this lovely caftan. It has been quite some time since I've sewn anything using Minerva fabric. I'm so glad I was able to finally finish it.
Pattern Description: V-neck caftans have drawstring waist with hem and length variations. View A has ruffled collar.
Pattern Sizing: 8 - 26. I used size 16, view B.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it did. Big and floaty. Lol
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy. Nothing confusing about them. Typical.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that the caftan was a very easy make. At the time, I thought I would make it up immediately after I cut it out. But, that didn't happen. Also, I thought the pattern was perfect for showcasing the beautiful rayon challis. Who doesn't like a beautiful house dress.
No dislike.
Fabric Used: Rayon challis from Minerva. It is soft, fluid, and easy to work with. Love how it presses. Unfortunately, it wrinkles just as easy.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any changes. Perfect.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I would like to make view B for a swim suit cover-up. Yes, I do recommend it to others.
Conclusion: I'm pleased with how the caftan turned out. I will certainly get a lot of wear out of it. Also, this was a super easy sewing project that I recommend to all level sewists.

That's all for now!
