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 such a pretty top. I immediately started receiving compliments on it. I wore it with a short skirt but it could easily go nicely with jeans, khakis or shorts as well. The style is a little oversized, I could probably have gotten away with medium instead of large. But the adjustable straps really let you customize how you wear it. Its just adorable and Ill wear it all summer. Very pretty eyelet pattern, light weight, crisp white. It was well packaged and protected for shipping.

I love this top! Its such soft material, and the colors are beautiful! Its very comfortable, and lightweight, very nice on hot days. Well made with some extra embellishments of thread on the ruffled sleeves, love the attention to detail!
