I exchanged a black caftan that just wasn't suitable for my event as I had hoped for a print one that I loved. The seller was super easy to work with, very communicative and I love my new caftan!

Wonderful quality! Flattering and soft. Super fast shipping - arrived sooner than scheduled. It’s hard to find a solid black kaftan, and I was thrilled to get this one made of rayon, a breathable fabric that is soft and flowy. Opaque and not see through, the perfect balance of light and substantial. Light enough for the beach, substantial enough for the city. Casual enough for wearing around the house and can also be dressed up!

I’m 5’1” and got the 50” length which fits perfectly for a floor length maxi. Hits the bottom of my ankles. Nicely sewn and actually handmade with nice original label. Great communication, quick and friendly! They offer alterations too!

Top quality craftsmanship and material. Cut is very flattering and I can tell this will be a wardrobe staple for years to come. A good investment!

I absolutely love it. I’m basically 5’ 11” and I have on the 60” one and it’s the perfect length—it flows just a little bit on the ground. It’s so cute and flowey and and soft and it feels like being wrapped in a comfy blanket! I love it and it’s so worth it.

This was perfect for my needs! I needed it last min so needed to alter one she already had by making it a midi and deepening V. One comment I have is that it came smelling very strongly of parfum. I'm sure to others it's a special touch but I have skin very sensitive to parfum and such. I needed to wash before use but since I was altering anyway nbd. Shop owner was prompt and great in communicating. Dress had prompt arrival as well.

Bought this for a cruise - wore it every day. Super flowy and easy to wash/dry. Perfect for spa days and lazy pool afternoons!

I threw this on as soon as it came in. Very comfy , simple, design. Not see through, so the fabric is substantive. I think next time I might size down, so I'm not swimming in it. I'm 5'4. I got the medium size and it comes to the ankles. I have an upstairs bedroom, so I'm concerned about tripping and busting my head (it's happened before). I think I may go for the tie dye styles the next time I order. Those look cool.

I was honestly surprised at how the quality of fabric felt when I opened the package and tried it on. I was a bit nervous as it seemed a bit see through however, once on I didn't notice a difference. I grately appreciate the different lengths to choose from and height chart. It fits perfectly loose, its breathable, super comfortable and easy to just throw on and go.
