Blown away with my purchase , I’m only 5ft 3 and the beach dress is a perfect length and the embellishment is beautiful. Kim my personal shopper assigned was outstanding throughout the process. Comes with care details too which is fabulous. Garments are very true to size too relaxed fit due to nature.

Drop Waisted Kaftan Dresses - Flattering Styles in Silk & Cotton

Our drop waisted kaftan dresses come in breathable cotton and floaty silk for beach days and resort evenings. The softly elasticated drop waist sits on the lower waist or hips, allowing the fabric to blouse gently over the tummy. Their longer length offers more coverage than our short silk kaftans. Wear over swimwear during the day or add a skin tone slip dress for sunset drinks.

Why Choose a Drop Waisted Kaftan Dress?

The bloused drop waist silhouette creates a softly defined shape without a fitted waist. Sitting lower on the hips, it allows the fabric to drape gently over the tummy. The longer length works well for daytime strolls, beachwear or resort evening wear with a slip dress underneath.

Choose from soft hand tie dye silk or supple, breathable cotton in a variety of styles and colours for your holiday wardrobe.
