A kaftan dress is loose, flowing and made to be comfortable for hours. Our kaftan abayas keep that relaxed cut and add full modest coverage. You will find embroidered, tassel-trimmed and ruffled styles for celebrations and easy days.

What to Look for in a Kaftan Dress

A relaxed shape

A kaftan dress is loose through the body and sleeves, so the fabric floats instead of clinging. That makes it comfortable for long days and warm weather. Many styles can be tied at the waist with a sash if you want more shape.

Trim and decoration

Kaftans are often decorated. Look for geometric embroidery, tassels, ruffles or gold trim. Our tassel trimmed kaftan shows how a simple cut looks festive through its trim alone. Choose bold detail for celebrations and plain styles for easy days.

Neckline

Some kaftans have a V-neck, and others close higher at the neck. If you want more coverage, pick a higher neckline or add a plain inner layer.

FAQs

What is the difference between a kaftan and an abaya?

A kaftan is a loose, flowing robe, often decorated and tied at the waist. An abaya is a long, modest outer garment. A kaftan abaya has the festive cut of a kaftan and the full coverage of an abaya.

Can I wear a kaftan dress every day?

Yes. Simpler styles are comfortable for relaxed days. Embroidered and tassel styles suit celebrations.

Is it comfortable in warm weather?

The loose cut lets air move around the body, so it is usually comfortable. Light fabric makes it even better.

Should I wear a belt with a kaftan?

You can. A sash or slim belt adds shape to a loose style. It also looks lovely worn loose for a relaxed drape.

What size should I choose?

Follow the size chart. Your usual size normally works, and you can go up one size for a more flowing fit.
