Suits, dresses and separates
A kaftan is the most forgiving thing you can wear to a long evening: one easy line from the shoulders to the floor, with the embroidery doing all the work. We have two designs of our own so far, a dressy emerald kaftan with cape sleeves and a quieter sage one for every day. If neither is quite you, send a photo of the kaftan you have in mind and we make that instead.

The Emerald Vine Cape Kaftan is the one for Eid, a walima or a family wedding. The sleeves are cut as a cape that falls in long points, so your arms are covered but nothing feels tight, and gold vines run down the front, along the sleeve edges and all the way round the hem. From the back you see the same vines on the yoke and the hem, which is what people notice when you walk away.
The Sage Arch Kaftan is calmer: a band collar, a straight relaxed line to the ankle and arches embroidered down the front. It is the one you will wear most, from Friday prayers to a summer dinner.
02
People ask this a lot. An abaya is usually worn over your clothes and often opens at the front. A kaftan is worn on its own, as the outfit, and is usually closed and wide through the body. Many women own both: the abaya for going out, the kaftan for the occasion itself or for home.
Our guide to abaya or kaftan goes into the details, and how much fabric a kaftan needs explains why the wide styles use more.
03
Choose S to XL, or send your own measurements. For a kaftan the important ones are the shoulder width, the bust, the hip and the full length from the shoulder to the floor in your shoes. The width is easy to get right because a kaftan is loose; the length is the one to measure carefully. Kaftan width and how to measure it shows how.
If cape sleeves are not for you, ask for closed sleeves on the emerald design, or a longer or shorter sleeve on the sage one. We confirm every change in your written quote before cutting.
