Have you seen anything like this dress/kaftan

So, I want a simple cotton Kaftan/dress like this, which I can waft around in without my braless boobs showing, and no tie around middle.

A bit like this but not nearly as expensive!

Why did I click the link. I want one now.
You could try Toast but on ebay for something similar.

Yeah, tried Ebay and Etsy. It's the folded over, sliced in front bit that makes it a bit special and loses your boobs

Hmmm. Could you try TK maxx? I was in today and they had a) a lot of linen and b) more beach cover ups than I expected.

I too am sorry I clicked on your linky as this one is much nicer than the M&S one I bought today.

H and m have a blue one similar ..

I’ve no helpful suggestions but by god that’s beautiful!

I hope you're not going for the matching shoes

Couldn't find the h&m one.
I think your best bet is a sewing pattern. So tempted...

MikeUniformMike · 30/05/2019 21:50

Just a thought, the model is tiny and the dress is one size.

No, the link is great, thanks - it looks lovely but I'm not sure it's cotton or linen or polyester! There's conflicting info. I've emailed to ask

OP posts:
MikeUniformMike · 31/05/2019 08:43

It's polyester

Thelowquietsea · 31/05/2019 08:48

Yeah, can't do polyester sadly

Same dress - this time says its rayon!

It's clearly a bit of a lottery, but tbh, at that price I'd be inclined to risk it and see what turns up.

I buy quite bit of the Zanzea stuff off ebay - and the quality is definitely variable, but it's great for lightweight, throw on casual summer wear, and I like the styles.

(You could always unpick the dress and use it as a pattern and make a linen one.)

daisyboocantoo · 03/06/2019 17:26

Ooohhh I want!!! Would these suit a size 18?

fedoff · 03/06/2019 17:33

I live in Kuwait and bought one of these for an event we had recently they're about £20 here. They're flattering for all sizes (I'm a 20/22)

Have you seen anything like this dress/kaftan
fedoff · 03/06/2019 17:33

Excuse my messy house 😂

thislido · 03/06/2019 20:32

Just in case anyone is tempted to order from the first link, it looks very hit and miss with a lot more misses...

daisyboocantoo · 03/06/2019 20:35

@fedoff it looks lovely, is it comfortable?

Epanoui · 03/06/2019 21:03

That is gorgeous, OP!

fedoff · 04/06/2019 10:11

@daisyboocantoo yeah it's so cool and comfy I'd recommend them to anyone

trimtops · 05/06/2019 13:10

do not buy that dress - I have the very same one and it is horrendous

it came all crumpled up, and took me ages to work out which way was up.
it now resides in the bottom of my wardrobe, even more crumpled up
you can have it if you like!!

CutesyUserName · 05/06/2019 13:43

Take a look at 'lagenlook' caftans.

EllenRipley · 05/06/2019 13:44

Bukyud adverts keep appearing on my Facebook newsfeed, the dresses look lovely but I always worry it's one of those dodgy sites that sends cobbled together crap versions of the pictures - has anyone used the site and can vouch for it?

EllenRipley · 05/06/2019 13:47

Oh! Scrap that, just read the trustpilot review...
