As soon as I received the shipment with this caftan and tried it on, I was in love with this item! White isnt usually my colour, and I have never actually worn a caftan before, so I wasnt completely sure how it would fit or look on me. However, the construction of this one is fantastic! The embroidery is beautiful, as well, and the elastic empire waist makes it very flattering! You do need to wear a camisole under it, as it is quite see-through otherwise, but that is easy enough to do. I feel quite certain that this item is not going to see the inside of my closet very much, with how often I will want to wear it! It is machine washable, so easy to take care of, too. This is the first item I have purchased from Shalabh, and already I am looking at his other items to see what should be next... Thank you; I love it!(Note: I have a 36 bust, and purchased the smallest size available - Small - which says 40 bust. I worried it would not fit well, but as I stated, it fits wonderfully!)

This is a stylish dress with pretty embroidered edges. I can t wait to wear it when the weather gets warmer. It s still winter where I live. It fits me perfectly (I am 5 ft 3 in and 110 lbs). The fabric feels cool against the skin, so it s a comfortable dress for hot summers.
Could not be more pleased! It arrived sooner than expected, fits true to size, was even packaged beautifully! Makes me feel like I am wearing a hand-crafted custom made dress. The picture does not do it justice. The details, including the beading are beautiful.Super pleased!
