have you a kaftan

[poisson]

is it for swimwear/normal wear( I note that it has replaced the crappoid sarong as cliches fashion editors sollution fro anyone over a size 8)

and why are so many made of synthetic fabrics?

do you looklike demis roussos in it

I have a cotton one from monsoon. I've never actually worn it though. I want to cover my legs, not my top half and although I think they look nice, I always end up so hot on holiday I don't want to wear anything over a bikini.

yes in balck tis long and a bit sequiny but see thru so have towear swimwear under

no, because the last time I had one, I tripped down the stairs in it and broke my arm - circa 1989

ditto nailpolish its seeing aisleynes kaftans in BB thats made me order one!!!
The one she had on last night the turquoise one was gorgeous.

Indian Kaftans are the biz. Tesco had lovely cotton ones that were fitted around bust and nipped in a bit at waist, but the sold out ages ago.
I got a great tie-dye one from Bali which I STILL wear over cossie on holiday. It is 13 yrs old, and cost about £1.

I have a handmade one my SIL bouigt me from Dubai. Would onlky wera it on beach over bikini though. Not out to teh shops or anything.
