Does anyone else want to 'waft about' in a beautiful kaftan?

[MrsKingfisher]

I love the idea of kimono style kaftans or similar for the summer (if we ever get one!) I'm losing my lockdown excess slowly and I'm large of nork so I don't want to look like a sack of spuds.

More elegant and stylish, even if it's only in my own garden. Anyone else?

I've looked at one hundred stars they have lovely ones.

Not sure where else to look!

The Camilla ones are rather expensive, I know they are silk but where are they made? Anyone know

I keep getting ads for a Swedish company (I'm in Sweden) that sell kimono-ish robes that are very wafty. I'm so sorely tempted but I also realise that 98% of it is thinking I'd look like the model brahmaki.com/

Which I wouldn't.

I would resemble Demis Roussos.

I have a COS shirt dress that's oversize with short sleeves. At 100% cotton it's durable, had fabulous pockets, and is perfect for wafting about.

I'd love a very substantial quilted? kimono if anyone sees one on their quest. I have visions of being a bohemian grande dame in an Agatha Christie novel. Maybe secondhand from Japan would be best. I get very cold (and am immobile) so would be ideal.

Some lovely ideas, love the Very Kerry Kimono, the wildflower one is so pretty.

If I'm not wafting about the house I'd wear one with skinny jeans a white t shirt and my supergas.

Verry Kerry! I’d forgotten all about them! Beautiful robes.

I won't look like a model either, more a middle aged oversized frump in a bit of colour!

House of Bali on Etsy has some nice ones

I have a kimono top and a gown from 100 stars - really love them both! I've not had any issues at all with dye or them being cut wrongly personally.

Those Very Kerry ones look nice, but having lived/worked in India for a number of years I am used to paying local prices I am at some of the prices....

Nice things here - floaty dresses and kaftans, and lovely cotton PJs.

Oysho often have very inexpensive dressing gowns which if you buy in a larger size are nice to potter around the house and garden.

I would love to waft about in a kaftan, I used to have a sparkly blue light swirly one that was beautiful.

For the purpose of this thread I presume you are all pronouncing it "wahft"

I like the look of this

I got a beautiful one from & Other Stories a couple of years ago.

I feel like I am going to the opera when I wear it at home

Oh to master this look:



Sorry picture didn't post. Princess Margaret photographed on Mustique reclining in a stunning caftan. Gorgeous. Just Google.

A kurti might be more practical lol

I love this, a bit of a lower price than some mentioned above www.grass-fields.com/collections/womens-clothing/products/limited-ebele-kaftan

Gosh those Very Kerry items are divine. I’d so want to wear outside but I’m too old and Persil blue white and short and norked. I’d just look mad.

Recently bought this short kimono to wear in summer with denim shorts & a vest.. one hundred stars... love it
