# Who says dresses are for women and girls only? In many countries boys and men wear a dress but they call it in every country different.

Look at these images:

In China, Africa, India, Pakistan Saudi Arabia and the priest are wearing a thobe. I love the African outfit the most and it reminds me of the movie Blackpanther.

![fvxcxc.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS6cUiysVirfc3h3Cg2hc7bopNXywrerGNjLc5G1d48NL/fvxcxc.jpg)

 I made these two thobes for my sons using kids sizes that are available in my pattern book. I made the patterns from scratch, which means all the lines you see in the images I drew it myself.

![20180608_195913.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQJXHyv4WH9aoyAs6FqctwN6ciufdUENEkmvFgUxaMYzT/20180608_195913.jpg)

![20180608_202923.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmShBWzi3xtMPNkM583FgBHYWdYtndpK8Hi482eyeL69UG/20180608_202923.jpg)

I drew the basic patterns first before changing little details. Later on I made the sleeves slightly shorter and the thobe slightly wider. 

![20180608_211401.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWCeTbAjvKNqJqo4BTNfy4RiKVAinatjBicthQYAgEq5K/20180608_211401.jpg)

I also made the neck opening wider otherwise the kids can not put their head through the opening. 

![20180608_105049.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRtrCkgQPb1emRtkBd9vPHryYbQQ7fw3xRGuekRdoWqVF/20180608_105049.jpg)

My youngest son chose this batik fabric. He said it looks like a king's kind of fabric, very royal, the blue and gold colors together.

![20180611_111439.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYzymTdyZAvkQR5Fspzk8MyTU7PtWDc2HsLHQUStZTDyC/20180611_111439.jpg)

Because the golden details are horizontal, I had to cut the patterns differently. 

![frdc dz.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeM2yneX7h4pNNFuPq4jrRrtzGSRpKWWY9PAeM23JeeX4/frdc%20dz.jpg)

I have never made this kind of neckline before so this was my first time. I watched a Youtube video how to to do this V neckline.

![20180611_164931.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWdcSz5ARzXUdXojmBe6TbtLiR3gjhznHRxSQGcpzqYUr/20180611_164931.jpg)

I stitched all the pieces together and I got stuck with the V neckline.I tried to the exact same thing as shown in the tutorial, but  somehow the tutorial wasn't the right tutorial for me. 

![20180611_185017.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdFY1P4Um9eYAMDD2qEAsc8oncPPFVkVkRHU4fQPNpSMT/20180611_185017.jpg)

Look at the V neckline, not how it suppose to look like. It has a big gap in the middle.

![20180611_210238.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYNcqMV4oUwQiNSQHXe3vJjHrhTiC3SxMmAa1WAq1ZZX9/20180611_210238.jpg)

I decided to fix it by using a small piece of fabric.

![20180611_212554.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXR44p9vdUW185i56t5w75xoYeH7FsBojSCPcH5u7rNFW/20180611_212554.jpg)

It ended up looking like this. When I wanted to start making the second one, I wanted it to be better than this one. 

![20180613_094200.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXtbfEXxKLmkQXJqyZco36M5X7i3PpR6K8EbzG9BLpo7N/20180613_094200.jpg)

So with the second one I decide to cut the V neckline smaller to see how it will look like when attaching the neck placket.

![20180613_104343.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmabMQdeAHH36rwp3waEow1T6aZm1En9xx6LZhTWuWWEUR/20180613_104343.jpg)

# WOW! So much better! Apparently, I didn't need the tutorial at all! This tutorial is not explaining it well and her way wasn't the correct way to do it. It is a pity I didn't think about it for the first thobe.

![20180613_220953.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZjSpLKD7qd4ZpJhWZavCTPstCBUoRBoELzwcnTVFAc66/20180613_220953.jpg)

When the thobes were ready I saw the thobes weren't wide enough for the kids to be able to walk and I decided to make a split on both sides.

![20180613_221047.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbrDo3CG32KowCTDdyq18p7XfqkdtkEzBJY9mL7JeesfV/20180613_221047.jpg)

The second thobe is ready!

![20180619_192719.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdqeRPTqVrywajC8Yb6tnjcoBYbRsQyT5nwzfNEbheNYj/20180619_192719.jpg)

# The kids are very happy with their Thobe/Abaya/Galabeyya

I think I have to practice more making different kinds of necklines. I am more specialised in making winter coats and blazers.But it is good to try something new and develop my skills and talents.</center>

Hello @fathin-shihab, your children look very cute, the girl does not want to pose anymore, but she looks cute.
I like the fabric in which you made, it looks bright and I love that.
Happy day:)
