The fabric’s dimensional weave gives gentle structure and movement, making it an instant go-to for travel, brunch, and sunset plans. Add jewelry or a belt to switch the mood in seconds.
Olivia keeps the tee-soft feel you love, now with artful tie-dye. In fuchsia and aqua the thicker jersey cotton skims the frame for a flattering, comfortable fit you can wear all day. Subtle variations in the dye make every dress one-of-a-kind. Pair with a macramé tote and flats for daytime or add a belt and metallic accents after dark. From travel days to dinner plans, it’s the effortless statement you’ll reach for on repeat. Available in 51 inch length.
Color, comfort, and character – the Olivia Tie-Dye brings all three. Crafted from ultra-soft jersey cotton, it drapes smoothly for all-day ease, while the azure adds vibrant personality. Each tie-dye piece is uniquely hand tied and dyed patterned, so yours won’t look like anyone else’s. Style as a statement beach cover-up, toss on with slides for the market, or dress it up with strappy sandals and earrings for evening. The relaxed silhouette keeps things breathable and unfussy, letting the print do the talking. Available in 51 inch length.

If your favorite T-shirt became a dress, it would be Olivia. The jersey cotton feels soft against the skin, and the fluid silhouette offers room to breathe while keeping a streamlined line. In solid gray, it’s endlessly pairable – think slides and shades for errands, or a cuff bracelet and sandals for dinner on the town. Wear loose for sculptural flow or add a slim belt to define the waist. Available in 52 inch length, it’s effortless, season-spanning, and always ready when you are.
Petrol is one of those colors that shifts depending on the light — more blue in the shade, more green in the sun. It's a rich, saturated shade that reads sophisticated without trying, and pairs naturally with warm neutrals, metals, and a wide range of skin tones.
The Grace in Petrol is cut from double gauze cotton — soft, breathable, two layers of cotton woven together for structure without weight. V-neckline, side slits, 50 inches from shoulder to hem: ankle length or just above depending on height.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style, no pockets. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Moss is an earthy, muted green — the kind that works with everything and competes with nothing. It's a color that feels intentional without being obvious, and sits naturally across a wide range of skin tones.
The Gloria in Moss is a floor-length double gauze cotton kaftan cut in a slimmer, tailored silhouette. V-neckline, side slits, soft and breathable fabric that moves well without being sheer. At 50 inches it falls at ankle length or just above.
One size fits most up to US 2XL. Slipover style, no pockets. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
Sand in the Gloria is the same reliable warm neutral, brought into a silhouette with a little more intention. Less sweep than the standard fit, but the same effortless drape that makes a warm-weather kaftan the easiest thing in your wardrobe.
The Gloria in Sand is a floor-length double gauze cotton kaftan with a V-neckline, side slits, and a slimmer, tailored fit. Soft, breathable, not sheer. At 50 inches it falls at or just above the ankle.

Each Grace in Raspberry is hand-tied and dyed, which means the color moves differently across every piece — from deep rose at the knots to a softer blush where the dye spreads. What you see in the photos is close to what you'll receive, and also entirely its own.
Cut from double gauze cotton with a V-neckline and side slits, the 57-inch length reaches the ankle or grazes the floor depending on your height — a longer, more dramatic silhouette that still wears loose and effortless.
One size fits most up to US 3XL. Slipover style, no pockets. First wash separately to protect color; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.

Black with white hand-painted lotus leaves is the most graphic kaftan in the Alice range — every leaf placed by hand in batik wax, so no two pieces land identically. The white reads almost luminous against the deep black, especially on a soft jersey.

White, fuchsia, and aqua is the kind of pairing that doesn't try to coordinate — the bright pink and the cool aqua bleed into the white in a way that reads almost ocean-coral, especially in the lighter spots. It's the kaftan that photographs differently every time.

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.
