Kaftan dress

Kaftan dress: the long dress that combines comfort and elegance

A kaftan dress is a long, loose-fitting dress with wide sleeves, originating from Moroccan and oriental clothing traditions. The style covers without constricting: the fabric drapes loosely over the body. This makes the kaftan dress equally suitable for a wedding or an ordinary day.

In this collection, you will find both plain versions for daily use and richly embroidered dresses for ceremonies.

How do you choose the right kaftan dress?

• The occasion: an embroidered model with beads or sequins is suitable for a wedding; a plain dress in flowing fabric is for everyday wear.
• The fit: loose-fitting models offer more freedom of movement; tailored models with a belt accentuate the waist.
• The fabric: light fabrics such as chiffon and crepe drape smoothly; satin and brocade provide more volume and shine.
• The length: a kaftan dress usually falls to the ankle. Take your footwear into account when choosing the size.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a kaftan and a takchita?

A kaftan consists of one layer of fabric. A takchita consists of two layers: an underdress with an open top layer over it, usually closed with a belt. The takchita is therefore more festive and is mainly worn at weddings.

What size do I choose for a kaftan dress?

Because the model is loose-fitting, your usual size is usually sufficient. However, check the length in the size chart: it varies per model and determines whether the dress falls to the ankle.

Can I wear a kaftan dress daily?

Yes. The simple, plain versions in light fabric are intended for daily use. The embroidered models with glossy details are better suited for festive occasions.

How do I care for a kaftan dress?

Always follow the washing instructions on the label. Embroidered pieces and models with beads are preferably hand-washed or dry-cleaned; plain models in light fabric can usually be machine-washed on a low spin cycle.
