The kaftan is the most forgiving dress ever designed and, done well, the most elegant. Ours are cut long and loose with a defined neckline, optional waist ties and sleeves that cover the arm without clinging — in hand-printed cottons for day, satins for evening, and embroidered and crochet styles for the occasions in between.
A kaftan works three ways: as a beach cover-up over a swimsuit, as a daytime dress with flat sandals, and — in satin, with the waist tied and statement earrings — as a dinner dress. It travels flat, forgives the heat and flatters every shape.

What is the difference between a kaftan and a caftan? Nothing — two spellings of the same garment. Can a kaftan be worn as an evening dress? Yes. Choose satin, tie the waist, add embellished mules and one piece of statement jewelry. What do you wear under a kaftan? A slip in the same tone for sheer fabrics; for opaque cotton, nothing more than you would under any dress.
