Olena Cotton Kaftan in Emerald Tie Dye

Emerald is the cool, saturated green you don't see often in resortwear — closer to bottle glass than to mint or sage. On a tie-dyed cotton it goes from deep to lighter where the dye thinned, which keeps it from looking flat. It's a color that does the work of jewelry: you don't really need much else.

The Olena in Emerald is cut from semi-sheer cotton gauze — a single light layer that lets air move through and dries quickly, which is what makes it work as a beach cover-up, a hot-weather throw-on, or a layer over a slip at home. V-neckline, side slits, and a silhouette that falls loose and away 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. No pockets, slipover style. First wash separately; gentle machine wash, hang dry preferred.
