Camellia Belted Silk Kaftan

Lovely in so many ways…

The Camellia Kaftan is lovely in so many ways! The fabric is as beautiful to touch as it is to behold. The exquisite color palette along with the intricate detail of the floral pattern are just perfect against the black background. The silk has a delightful “hand”, neither too light nor too heavy. The kimono style is relaxed and perfect for someone with more than a few extra pounds in the wrong spot (my waist). I bought a Medium although I usually wear a Large. Be sure to check the size guide details. I then contacted the company and spoke to Peter, one of the owners, who confirmed my size pick. He was delightful. I’ll be wearing it to a black tie wedding in CT in mid September. I’m pairing it with black flats (I’d break my 73-yr-old neck if I wore heels); a vintage Czech crystal necklace with dark red stones set in gold; a shimmering bronze shawl; an ancient black beaded purse; and tbd earrings. I’ve decided not to wear the belt as it sits right in the middle of my bulging waist and won’t stay put - it slides up or down making me look pregnant it and calls attention to my waist. Without it I look almost (dare I say it) skinny.

Elegant dress!

I wore this dress in Venice, Italy, and I absolutely love it! The silk is incredibly soft and high-quality. I look forward to wearing it again to a wedding later this summer.

Gorgeous!

I had my eye on this kaftan for a while and after ordering 2 other dresses, the third time was the charm! I will be wearing this for my daughter’s wedding in August and wanted something lightweight that also covered my arms. As soon as I tried it on I felt it was “the one” and my daughters heartily agreed. I can’t wait to wear it! Gorgeous!!!
