kaftans were the rage then.

In the 1970's my mother used to wear Kaftan's.  these were easy to make, loose fitting a cool along with comfortable.  Also it did not matter how many layers you wore underneath [clothing or natural additions] you also could keep warm in winter.

Check out this pattern as it is the easiest one that I have seen around.
