Linda's Caftan for 18" dolls

 One of my fondest memories of my mom is her wearing a caftan around 1975.  She looked so great in it!  I bought the pattern a few years ago and made myself a few, which I love to wear and remember her.

If I can adapt a pattern from a size 12 to my size (not saying size) I may be able to make a pattern for an American Girl doll.  

Using the apron dress as a template, I came up with the caftan dress pattern.  I LOVE IT!  Here's the result:

This is my Mom wearing her caftan for Easter 1975.

Here's a close up.
