Why Choose Lindsey Brown
Each Lindsey Brown kaftan is thoughtfully created, from the first design concept to the moment you wear it on holiday. Lindsey selects only the highest quality cotton and silk, chosen for their breathability, lightness, and luxurious feel against the skin.
Every piece is crafted in our family-run ateliers, with whom we have worked for over fifteen years. Lindsey not only designs all our prints in-house and creates the colour combinations for our hand–tie-dye designs; she also designs every kaftan and dress silhouette. This ensures each piece remains exclusive to our brand and to your wardrobe.
Each sequin is individually hand-sewn, ensuring exceptional quality in every piece. Above all, Lindsey Brown resort wear is timeless. Dress in confidence and comfort, in pieces you’ll treasure for years to come. Add timeless, hand-crafted luxury to your holiday wardrobe by Lindsey Brown.
Style : Crete
SKU: LB-CRE-XS
Short Silk Cover-up Size Guide
The Crete is an original Lindsey Brown design and one of our most beloved silk beach cover-ups, cut from the softest aqua silk crepe and finished with hand-placed crystals that shimmer beautifully around the V-neckline. The sleeves hang and drape downwards with effortless elegance, and the exclusive Lindsey Brown print adds a luxurious, resort-ready finish that you simply will not find anywhere else.
Designed for Petite Frames and Warm Holiday Destinations
What makes the Crete truly special is its shapely rounded hemline, a curved silhouette that flatters a smaller frame without adding width, making it one of the most genuinely flattering cover-up styles for petite ladies. Sized to fit XS to S, it slips effortlessly over a swimsuit and works just as beautifully as a lightweight top for a beach café lunch or a stroll along the promenade. The silk crepe stays cool and breathable even in the warmest climates, draping gracefully with every step.
Timeless Silk Resort Wear That Travels Beautifully
The Crete is part of our timeless collection of silk beach cover-ups, each designed exclusively by Lindsey Brown and crafted to the highest standard in India. Silk crepe packs beautifully and arrives with minimal creasing, making it a perfect travel companion for a cruise, a Greek island escape or any warm weather holiday. The aqua colourway is fresh, luminous and endlessly versatile, pairing equally well with neutral swimwear and bold resort colours alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Crete cover-up suitable for petite ladies?
Yes, the Crete was designed specifically with petite frames in mind. The rounded hemline creates a flattering silhouette without adding width, and the one size fits XS to S. If you are unsure about sizing, our all-female team is available via live chat and happy to help.
Can I wear the Crete as a top rather than just a beach cover-up?
Absolutely. The Crete works beautifully as a lightweight top worn over trousers or tailored shorts for a beach café or poolside lunch. The draped sleeves and crystal neckline give it an elegant feel that goes well beyond a standard cover-up.
Is the Crete silk cover-up suitable for a cruise or Mediterranean holiday?
Yes, the Crete is a wonderful choice for a cruise or any warm weather destination. The silk crepe keeps you cool, the rounded hemline is elegant and modest, and it packs flat into a case without taking up much space. The aqua print is exclusive to Lindsey Brown, so you will not see it anywhere else on board.

Lovely kaftan
"Very pretty kaftan and delighted to find it in a petite fitting - lovely length (I’m 154cm) and sits really well on the shoulders of a smaller frame. Beautiful fabric and detailing and colours - love it. Super speedy delivery as well."
