Swanning about like 70’s starlet

A review of Simplicity Vintage Caftans S8505

I’d give this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the restricted size range. I’m several inches larger than the size range, but it ties on the inside and I hoped I could just fudge some bust adjustments. It worked, sort of. The bust looks okay from the outside, with a lot of handstitching on the inside manipulating excess length in weird places!

I also closed up the V a lot, and added some blue and gold braid. I do totally love the catfan and would treat this as a wearable toile, but I don’t think I have a lifestyle that calls for multiple caftans! Still, this is fab.
