A modern kaftan, suitable for a summer evening on the town, can be knee length and in a solid pattern, while preserving the luxury of the flowing sleeves and excess material. A kaftan can be made to hug the body with a belt.
Kaftans can be made from any material and pattern imaginable, while custom-made kaftans can set a buyer back thousands of dollars with gold or silver embroidery and hand-woven silks.
As early as the 1950s, kaftans, kimonos, abayas, muumuus, djellabas (Moroccan robes with pointed hoods), or jalabiyas, and other styles from the Middle East, India, and Africa were translated into the “it” item suitable for glamour dressing, backyard party dresses, or casual house robes.
