Hello everyone you are all welcome to my blog. Today am going to show you how to cut and sew cowl kaftan using Lycra material. In making this gown you may also used material like chiffon material, creep material and Lycra material. This style is simple but you need a little technique so that it can give you what you wanted. They following measurement is taken

Measurement

Length	60
Hip point	28
Hip	47
Above knee length	37
Neck	3
Shoulder	8

These were the necessary measurement for cowl kaftan.
Item used in marking are:

• Marking Chalk
• Measurement tape
• Long wooden ruler
• Scissor

FIRST STAGE

I folded and laid the material into two and did my marking.
Since my material is a Lycra material it doesn't pick marking chalk but I will explain to all understanding.

I placed my tape vertically from the top and marked neck which is 3", marked shoulder which is 8", I marked hip-point which is 28", I marked above the knee which is 37". I later place my tape horizontally go to where I marked my hip-point and mark my hip Measurement which is 47÷4 =11 and half and add two inch for seam allowance altogether is 14 and half and Mark till the end.
I go back to the shoulder side and add two inch for seam allowance. I mark from the top 11inch and notch it. I stood from the 11inch and curve it round to give me the cowl curve and cut it off.

***This is how it looks after Cutting off ***

I suppose to folded the material into four and cut both front pattern and back pattern together, but am managing three yards of material but normally it should be three and half yards of material. I placed the front pattern to the remaining material and cut exactly for back pattern.

SECOND STAGE

I sew from where I notch 11" and sew downward to the end for shaping. I did it for the both sides. I used bias to turn the round neck and pressed with iron

After turning the neck with bias, I am done with my dress and this the outcome of my cowl kaftan 👗 dress
