Adjustable Ghawazee Coat and Turkish Vest
Madame X pattern #9803
Designed by Madame X

The Turkish Coat or Anteri is an important wardrobe component for the Middle Eastern belly dancer who seeks a more covered look. Madame X has created a pattern for a versatile version of this classic garment that can be glammed up in luxe fabrics and fabulous trim for a sophisticated edge while the traditional cut can be manufactured from simple cottons and linens for a historical reproduction or folkloric flavor.

The innovative feature of this Madame X design is the unique lacing system, which delivers a dress that is adjustable from a small 32” to a grand 72”. This dress is cut full through the hem, shaped through the sides and has a host of mix-and-match design options. The pattern is professionally printed on tissue with complete layout, cutting and sewing instructions.

Making your own Ghawazee Coat, means you get to be the designer! This pattern has two neckline variations and three sleeve options to mix and match into the perfect look. Put elegant slits from the hem to the hip, rim the edges with decoration, or use coordinating lacings to create a look that is totally you. Pair with pants and a hip wrap and you have a complete ensemble! Let this pattern serve as a blank canvas for your creative design inspirations!

Makes an excellent cover-up too!

Great pattern for dancers who want adjustable costumes for:

  • Multiple troupe members
  • Pregnant dancers
  • Loaner costumes
  • Student groups
  • Accommodating weight fluctuations
  • Wearing over other costumes for “quick changes”
  • Anyone who likes the look and comfort of laced-to-fit garments
