Orange on a tie-dyed jersey isn't the loud orange — it's softer where the dye thinned and more saturated where it pooled, which gives it the look of late afternoon light caught in fabric. Warmer than rust, brighter than terracotta.
The Alice in Orange is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 52 inches it falls at the ankle or above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Raspberry is the warm pink with bite — closer to fruit than to flower. On a tie-dyed polka-dot jersey it shows up twice: as scattered dots and as the wash behind them, which gives the pattern more depth than a printed dot ever could.
The Alice in Raspberry is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 52 inches it falls at the ankle or above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Lilac is the purple that softens everything around it — pale, cool, more lavender than violet. On a solid jersey it stays even and chalky-soft, the way watercolor pools when there's just enough water in the brush.
The Alice in Lilac is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 56 inches it falls at floor length or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Emerald is the cool, saturated green that doesn't usually show up in loungewear — closer to bottle glass than to mint or sage. On a solid jersey it sits deep and even, the kind of color that makes a basic kaftan feel intentional.
The Alice in Emerald is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 55 inches it falls at ankle length or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Mocha is the brown that warms toward red rather than yellow — closer to coffee than to camel. As a solid jersey it photographs richer than it sounds: a quiet color that's actually doing a lot.
The Alice in Mocha is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 54 inches it falls at ankle length or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Petrol is the deep blue-green that lives in the corner of the wardrobe and gets pulled out more than expected. Saturated enough to read as a real color choice, dark enough to read as neutral. As a solid jersey it sits flat and even, no glare, no shimmer.
The Alice in Petrol is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 53 inches it falls at the ankle or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Bubblegum is the pink that doesn't take itself seriously — bright, candy-warm, the kind of color that makes a quiet outfit feel like a small celebration. As a solid it gives the jersey a chance to do its own work: smooth, flat, saturated all the way through.
The Alice in Bubblegum is cut from soft jersey cotton — a stretchy, breathable knit that lounges well on the couch and looks intentional on a coffee run. Boat neckline, two pockets, no slits, and a silhouette that falls loose from the body. At 52 inches it falls at the ankle or above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Designed for ease, made to stand out. The Alice Tie-Dye Kaftan features a boat neck, slipover styling, and two pockets in tee-soft jersey cotton.

Azure is a blue that feels like open sky — bright without being loud, clear without being cold. Hand tie-dyed into jersey cotton, the color moves through lighter and deeper tones across the fabric, so no two pieces look exactly alike. It’s the kind of blue you keep reaching for.
The Alisa is fine jersey cotton — the weight and softness of a well-loved t-shirt, stretched into a kaftan you can throw on without thinking. Petite-proportioned through the bust, waist, and hips so it drapes rather than drowns. V-neckline, two pockets, slipover style. At 50 inches it falls at mid-calf depending on height. Part of Mala’s cozy collection — handmade loungewear for slow mornings, weekends at home, and everything casual in between.

Stone is a gray that feels grounded — warmer than silver, earthier than charcoal, with a mineral quality that the hand tie-dye process only deepens. The dye creates natural variation through the fabric, giving a color that could be plain a sense of movement and texture.

Black and rust is the kind of combination that earns its keep — warm enough to feel like autumn, dark enough to anchor anything around it. Each piece is hand tie-dyed, so the way the colors bleed into each other is never quite the same twice. Yours will look like yours.

Cream is the color of not overthinking it — warm, clean, and endlessly easy to wear. It’s softer than white without veering into beige, the kind of shade that goes with everything and looks good on everyone. On the Alisa, cream feels both fresh and relaxed at the same time.
The Alisa is cut from fine jersey cotton — the same soft, lived-in feel as your favorite broken-in t-shirt, but in a full-length kaftan.

Emerald is a green with opinions; vivid enough to make a statement, deep enough to wear on repeat. It doesn’t fade into the background or compete for attention; it just shows up and works. On the Alisa, the color does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Mocha is the warm neutral that actually feels warm — not washed out, not trying to be beige, just a rich chocolate-milk brown that pairs with everything in your closet without disappearing into it. On the Alisa, it’s the color equivalent of a deep breath.

NextCotton Kaftan FAQs
FABRIC & FEEL
It depends on the fabric! Most of our kaftans are fully opaque. The ones made in cotton gauze (the Olena, Flora, Evelyn kaftans) are lightweight and semi-sheer – we recommend wearing them over a swimsuit or slip. If you're unsure, check the fabric label in the product details or reach out and we'll advise.
Our Cotton Kaftan Collection uses five fabric types across the range: Double Gauze (ultra-soft, two-layer weave), Cotton Gauze (light, semi-sheer, perfect for beach), Jersey Cotton (stretchy, wrinkle-resistant), Woven Cotton (structured, holds its shape), and French Terry (soft loopback interior – our coziest option). Each product listing names the fabric so you can choose what suits you best.
Never. All our kaftans are 100% natural cotton and get softer with every wash. If anything, you'll love them more in six months than the day they arrive.
Absolutely – that's exactly what they're designed for. Cotton breathes naturally, packs light, and doesn't wrinkle badly in a suitcase. The gauze and double gauze styles are especially popular for beach holidays and tropical climates.
FIT & SIZING
Our kaftans are one size fits most - up to 4XL with the standard width being 34" (68" around). That being said, we do offer a petite collection with slimmer silhouettes and provide custom hemming if the length you want isn't available.
These kaftans are universally flattering on every body and are designed to fit sizes S-4X. Take a look through our reviews and you'll see women of all shapes and sizes feeling confident.
We offer knee-length, midi, and maxi lengths depending on the style. Some of our more popular Mala Kaftans come in multiple lengths from petite to tall. Check out our Size Guide to find the right length for you. We also offer custom hemming.
CARE
Wash for the first time separately and in cold water to prevent color transfer.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang to dry or tumble dry low. Avoid the dryer if possible — air drying keeps the cotton soft and the colours bright. For cotton gauze styles, a cold gentle wash is especially important to maintain the delicate weave.
Our kaftans are dyed or printed to last. Wash in cold water and avoid harsh detergents to keep colours vibrant wash after wash. If you have a printed style, turning it inside-out before washing helps preserve the print longer.
ORDERS & SHIPPING
We ship from the USA and pack orders the same or next day. Domestic orders typically arrive within 3-5 days. For more info, you can check out our Shipping Page.
