About this piece

The Classic Black Cecile Kaftan is poised to be your essential seasonal wardrobe addition. Drape it over your high-waisted Baiia Bikini or curve-loving Wrapsuit for a timeless beach cover-up, or seamlessly enhance this beloved summer dress by matching it with strappy sandals or heels, vibrant accents, and an eye-catching bag. Crafted from a luxuriously soft material derived from recycled plastics, its gentle texture gracefully cascades over your elegant contours, ensuring a flattering fit in all the best ways.

Wear comfortably on its own or pair back with the Valencia Bikini Wrap Top and Valencia Bikini Bottoms for the ultimate vacation outfit.

Best kaftan - looks and feels amazing!

This has been the best kaftan I've ever seen. It is so versatile and a beautiful dress to wear and feels so luxurious whilst still being practical for around the pool or beach. Highly recommend!

Day to night

This packs up really small for travelling and is handy to go from day to night - looks quite classy when done up as a dress. Gave it 4 stars as I think for the price it would have come with the lining looking in the same print/quality colour. I purchased on sale but still think it was a bit expensive… saying that the material feels lovely and as a tall plus size women it’s hard to find a nice kaftan style that has ample space. Great colour!

GORGEOUS DRESS

I love the Cecile Kaftan, the colour is stunning and the fabric feels amazing. I am short five foot two so its a midi dress on me which is fine. I am about a 10-12 in the bottom because I have an apple shape tum. But I have a large 12G bust so I got the LARGE which is perfect. I would love another one the stunning blue one probably. XXX

Effortless and Elegant

Love this dress as an effortless yet sophisticated throwover my riad swimsuit and also the functionality of wearing it from the beach to the bar!

Looking forward to it being a staple piece of my summer wardrobe
