Caftans have a really bad rap because they became the uniform of overweight people. Their origins are in cultures where people are not typically heavy but the overly body-conscious Americans are never interested in pieces that do not show off everything, unless you're one who feels they have something to hide. Think about kimono, think about a geisha's body. Those women are tiny and yet their traditional dress is not form-fitting. Think about Morrocan djallabas floating over men who were lithe and toned from working in the hot sun. Think of the sexy Israeli babes on the beach, packing up after a day of lolling with a caftan over their strapless swimsuit. Gottex will prove that caftans can be sexy. A giant black and white alocasia print on a red background with tiny gold leaves fluttering about, the maillot comes with a caftan that falls off the shoulder and is very fitted through the hip and legs. Shirred along the tops of the arms, the sleeves are gathered so they have a great shape. Did we mention it is also sheer? Trying to hide something? Well, maybe an enokiworld kind of caftan isn't for you after all. Shelf bra and stays, the swimsuit measures 23.5" from top to crotch and will fit a modern healthy 8 or small 10. The caftan is 51" long. Both are in excellent condition. sold |
