he kaftan is 140 inches or 256 centimetres around. So if your bust or waist or hips are less than this it will fit. The length from the shoulder to the bottom is 35 inches or 89 centimetres. It has a 6 inch or 15 centimetre slit up each side. The arm hole slit is 15 inches or 38 centimetres long so will fit an arm less than 30 inches or 72 centimetres around. The kaftan is made from ponge 5 silk which is soft and light. Ideal for hot places or travelling. The kaftan is hand washable and washing instructions are included. I sprayed the silk with pale grey steam fix dye. Then I painted violets onto the wet dye. I added detail with silver gutta The silk was then left to dry. Next I steamed the silk to fix the pattern. Finally I machine stitched the edges and hand stitched the neck.
