Beautiful, high quality. Have ordered multiple for myself and as gifts!

The material and quality work is fine. However, the V in the front is so low it goes below my breasts. This is not how it is pictured. I will see if my daughter can wear it — she is large busted and it may work for her. If not I may try to do some stitching or will give it away.

Bought this item for an upcoming cruise. Material is soft and flowy and will be great to wear with sandals/sneaks or over a swimsuit (or even to lounge around!). V-neck is a little low but works. Customer service is fantastic! Items shipped quickly and seller is very responsive. All the positive reviews for MaLa are for a reason. I will be keeping an eye on new items as they come in. For reference I am 5'2", curvy and ordered the 48" length.

This is my fourth? fifth? no, more than that--I've lost count-- kaftan from MalaHandworks. Beautiful color, just as pictured, and very fast shipping. And now there are different lengths to choose from...even better. Nothing better for a cup of coffee on the porch on a summer morning.
