The year was 1973
Caftan patterns are sexy, but Simplicity 5971 is extremely special because of its off-shoulder design and added design option of making it in two types of fabrics. I mean come on, it’s magnificent. How easy are they to dress up with flats, sandals or a pair of high heels, earring and a few bracelets? You’re Good-TO-GO.
Description: Simplicity 5971
The caftan with back zipper and cowl type neckline has long kimono sleeves and slit on left side and opening for arm on right side. View 2 is featured in two fabrics.
This easy to make caftan is made in five pieces. One of which is a simple facing. Fabric options include jersey, matte, crepe, crepe-back satin, printed silk, surah, challis, or sateen.
This pattern is in the boutique of the Vintage Sewing Pattern Portal
