Yesterday we looked at dresses made of shawls, and today we will pay attention to a caftan dress. These dresses have a lot in common. Often, a kaftan dress is made of light fabrics and turns out to be flying and airy. Therefore, this model is perfect for those who like traveling to warm countries and simply for those who seek entertainment.

What does a kaftan dress look like?

Originally, it was an ankle-length tunic with wide sleeves and an open neckline. In the modern version, this dress is often shorter, the sleeves are narrower, and the waistline is high. Caftans are usually made from lightweight, non-stretch fabrics such as muslin, linen, or cotton, although luxurious silk options are sometimes found.



Kaftan loose fit, straight cut - traditional North African and East Mediterranean menswear. In the 1950s, Christian Dior was the first to send the caftan to fashion collections. Later, Yves Saint Laurent and Roy Halston continued to develop the theme of caftans in fashion.

Kaftans became popular in the 1960s thanks to Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, Elizabeth Taylor and many other celebrities of the time. All of them created beautiful images and contributed to the fact that the men's caftan became the subject of a chic women's wardrobe. Today these dresses can be seen in the collections of Etro, Alberta Ferretti, Emilio Pucci and many others.




Kaftan is the best choice for traveling to warm regions and the sea. For a relaxed look, complement the dress with gold-tone flat sandals or other open-toed shoes. Beautiful belt and long earrings help transform a beach caftan into an evening outfit.

A kaftan dress will adorn any figure. Perhaps the only thing worth paying attention to is the location of the pattern. It should be located at the level of the part of the body that can be visually enlarged.
