okay, I actually own 21 of Mala's caftans, which I know is ridiculous, but there's a reason. I travel internationally several times a year and they work really well for more conservative cultures (like Egypt or India for example), or places in other countries where more conservative dress is required, like temples in Thailand or Cambodia. they're very comfortable, great quality, hide my PCOS tummy, they do not stretch. also Mala ships just about as fast as Amazon prime, and it's amazing that you can get hemming done for $9 with only a few days added to the delivery time. I'm really grateful for this Etsy shop. I have two complaints that have to do with color. sometimes an item correctly labeled "teal" has a photo that makes the item look cerulean, and sometimes items called "purple" are actually maroon. other than that, fabulous
