Product Description

The glamorous Elizabeth Taylor wore one. Ditto for Truman Capote’s elegant swan, Babe Paley, and modern model Kate Moss. Iconic fashion editor Diana Vreeland proclaimed the caftan “The most becoming fashion ever created.”  The forebearer to the maxi dress, the Caftan, has been around for centuries.

This season we’ve brought back our best-selling Caftan in one of our favorite fabrics: a wonderfully weighty 3-ply black crepe that drapes the female form beautifully.

The silhouette features an adjustable empire waist with a drawstring on its back, outfitted with a golden metal adjuster. Press the adjuster and pull to loosen or tighten the drawstring ties to create your desired fit.

This long, black flowing dress also features two sleek openings at either side seam (20-inches in length), making this piece easy to wear lunching by the pool, cocktails, or running about town.
