Made-to-measure kaftan and djellaba pattern
The kaftan and the djellaba aren't available in the studio yet. We'd rather tell you here than sell you a pattern we haven't yet tested.
The made-to-measure kaftan or djellaba pattern isn't yet among what the studio can draft to the standard it demands. Its T-shaped cut, its cut-on sleeves and its slit neckline are drawn, but they haven't yet been sewn up as a toile: until a toile has validated them, we don't sell them.
Made to measure, piece by piece
Why a kaftan & djellaba pattern to your measurements changes everything
The kaftan is a garment of drape: the ease is generous, but the balance of the shoulders and the depth of the neckline slit decide the whole hang. These are things that are checked on fabric, not on a screen.
In the meantime, the studio drafts garments built on proven bases: the dress, the front-buttoned shirt and blouse, the T-shirt. If it really is a kaftan you want to sew, tell us: that's what moves it up our work list. No credits are taken for this family.

We don't sell what we can't yet draft
This family will join the studio when its pattern is accurate, not before. In the meantime, discover the families we draft today — or write to us: knowing what you want to sew is what decides the order of our work.
