What is Caftan?
CAFTAN, sometimes reported kaftan, is ankle, flowing clothing that has long sleeves. In its original form it was made either of silk or cotton and was usually worn with a belt or wing around the waist. It is similar to khalat , which is silk or cotton robe. However, Caftan does not have an open queue and is slipped over his head.
CAFTAN is usually the garment of a person in its countries of origin. You can still see how people put it in the Eastern Mediterranean. It can be worn over pajamas pants in places like Egypt. The first caftans were generally relatively simple, but patterns, substances and prints have become more complex over time. During the Ottoman Empire they wore the Sultans and were extremely complicated in design and printing. In some African countries you can also see sophisticated printed and embroidered garments. There, men and Womuz can wear it and are usually made of cotton in bright colors. Sleeves can be either long or elbow length. It wears in this way, usually not a belt.
Kaftan can also wear women in the US, usually called muuuuu. Again, it is not again the band and can come in different prints. Some are inspired by Hawaii and others may have prints that resemble African designs. In the US, this garment can be cotton, cotton/polyester or cotton gauze. They are usually worn as resident, nightgown or swimwear covering and can be very comfortable.
CAFTAN can be particularly useful in very hot weather, especially if it is 100% cotton. Changes of cotton-poles tend to maintain more body heat. Many people also feel that silk is too warm for hot months.
It is also relatively easy to make caftan. Simple A-line shape is well suited to these LEs, how to sew. Basically, two fabric pieces are cut, which are of the same size, and the two seams on each side connect to the pieces. A more sophisticated caftan may require more experience. Adding slots, knospecks, embroidery or more than one substance can mean more work.
Most caftans that can be purchased in the US are made as one size that fits all clothing. In general, only one size is available and is large enough to fit most people. Those who are very small or wearing small sizes can consider such clothing too large. Women who wear clothes plus size can also find some caftans too small. Fortunately, shops that specialize in small or plus garments can provide better customization options.
