The name KHAYAL

The name of this dress says it all, because KHAYAL is Indonesian and means "imaginative" or "chic". Which look do you prefer? Elegant in midi length or cheeky in mini?

Fabric recommendation:

Woven fabric with a nice, heavy drape is best for the dress. It can be a little stretchy for comfort, but the fabric ideally needs a firm base structure. Typical qualities include crepe, satin, twill, linen, viscose-linen, Romanit, pique and light wool fabrics. Fabrics such as jacquard, denim, velvet or fabrics specifically for cocktail wear also create great effects. Depending on the fabric, however, this requires a bit of experience.

Tip: With this cut, it is recommended that you first sew a test dress out of a cheap fabric so that you can see whether the cut fits perfectly. Only then should you cut and process your favorite fabric.

Fabric consumption:

For the KHAYAL dress, you will of course need different amounts of fabric depending on the variant. Here are some key figures for orientation (based on 150 cm fabric width including seam allowances and buffer):

mini-length version
Size 34 - 40 = 1.60 m;
Size 42 - 48 = 2.40 m;
Size 50 - 56 = 2.60 m

midi-length version
Size 34 - 40 = 1.80 m;
Size 42 - 48 = 2.60 m;
Size 50 - 56 = 2.60 m

If you want to sew a lined version, you will need the following amounts of lining fabric for the lining skirt:

Size 34 - 40 = 0.6 m;
Size 42 - 48 = 1.30 m;
Size 50 - 56 = 1.30 m

You also need:
- 1 zipper for the back*
- 1 zipper for the front*
- If necessary, interfacing for reinforcement

*Ideally, you should measure the length on the sample piece so that you can determine the exact length. Alternatively, you can of course also measure the length on the cut.
