Description

Charlie is a must-have pattern for summer elegance, offering a fresh take on the classic caftan. Each version of the pattern includes a deep V neckline, short dolman sleeves, an inset center panel, and spacious pockets.

View A features modern and architectural pleats beneath the bust for a bold and dramatic look. Alternatively, for a softer and more romantic dress, Views B and C feature a gently gathered bodice with an optional waist tie, creating a figure-skimming silhouette available in two different skirt lengths.

You can also customise your caftan by selecting between a dramatically wide sleeve or a slightly higher cut for more coverage. With its versatile design and elegant aesthetic, Charlie is the perfect pattern for creating a statement piece for any warm-weather occasion.
