Middle Eastern Impression
Cemiyehs Caftan. The traditional caftan is a long, coat like garment with long sleeves worn throughout the countries near the Eastern Mediterranean. Usually made of a beautiful fabric in striped or brocaded silk, velvet or cotton. It may be held by a cummerbund or hizzaam wrapped around the waist. The sides may be left open to the hip and worn over harem pants, or sewn closed and worn alone. The bottom, neckline and sleeve edges may be trimmed with woven braid or embroidery. A fun variation: Trim with multi-color ribbon streamers sewn across the shoulders, the ends hanging loose at front and back. Separate cutting lines for small, medium and large given on same pattern.
