About Course

A kaftan top is a relaxed, free-flowing garment known for its comfort, elegance, and versatile appeal. Designed with a loose silhouette and wide sleeves, it allows easy movement and suits all body types. Kaftan tops are typically cut from a single piece or minimal panels, making them ideal for both beginners and professional designers.

This style can be created in a variety of fabrics such as cotton, rayon, crepe, georgette, silk, or chiffon, depending on the intended use—casual wear, festive wear, or resort wear. Kaftan tops can be plain, printed, embroidered, or embellished with elements like tassels, borders, lace, mirror work, or bead detailing.

Widely worn as casual wear, party wear, lounge wear, and fusion outfits, the kaftan top pairs well with leggings, palazzos, straight pants, skirts, or jeans. Its timeless design makes it a popular choice in women’s fashion and a must-learn garment in fashion designing courses.

Part – 2 Cloth cutting
Drafting is the foundational process of creating a garment pattern on paper using precise body measurements, standard drafting formulas, and construction guidelines. In this lesson, students learn how to convert measurements into a well-balanced paper pattern that ensures proper fit, shape, and garment structure. The drafting process includes understanding basic measurements, marking reference lines, calculating ease, and drawing accurate outlines for the garment components. Emphasis is placed on proportion, symmetry, and alignment to ensure the pattern is suitable for cutting fabric and stitching. This drafting method helps students achieve consistency, reduce fabric wastage, and customize designs for different sizes. Mastery of drafting is essential for professional garment construction and serves as the base for cutting, sewing, and design modifications.
