In short, it is a Shearwater Kaftan (one of three I have made - the first was another Nani Iro double gauze made while I was pregnant with Katie and was so comfortable - double gauze is really the best fabric ever invented). I'm afraid I haven't the foggiest recollection where I found the Nani Iro, I think it was probably a UK online shop. Previous double gauze purchases came from overseas but it is pretty easy to get hold of here now - yay!
It is a lovely straight forward pattern. Slightly fitted and perfect for summer Just what it says on the packet in fact! I think I made this one a little too long (it worked well with a bump but less so without one) and the next one was a wee bit shorter and probably a little more flattering. Not sure what else to say - if you're looking for an easy summer top to sew then I'd definitely recommend you give it a go!

What a great print!! I love the Nani Iro stuff, it has such a lovely non-pattern. No face though? Shame on you, pretty girl.
Gorgeous! I have a stash of double gauze, but I'm yet to commit to it...
That's lovely :)
Stunning!
I've yet to try Nani Iro!
It's lovely ... and looks like the kind of thing you'd wear and wear and wear.
it's gorgeous on you! (I love the double gauze too!)
