Pretty wrap

The fabric is beautiful. The cut is generous. I ordered it in medium hoping the tie would hit at the waist instead of under the bust. This worked exactly as I hoped. It is a lovely coverup.

Effortless Chic with the Cecile Kaftan

I recently added the Cecile Kaftan to my wardrobe in three stunning colorways: Black, Tulum, and Riad, and it has quickly become my go-to for easy, stylish comfort. Here's why I love it:

First and foremost, the fabric of the Cecile Kaftan is a dream. It's incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for warm days, and it breathes exceptionally well. This feature makes it my top choice for quick errands, daycare drop-offs, or impromptu trips to the shops. The comfort factor is unbeatable, allowing me to effortlessly look put together without sacrificing ease.

The sizing of the Cecile Kaftan is notably accurate. Typically a medium in most brands, I sized down to a small in the black and opted for a medium in the prints. Both sizes fit really well. As someone with a smaller bust, I found the small to be equally comfortable in the black, while the medium in the prints had a bit of surplus bust space. However, even with the extra room, it doesn't gape.

Baiia's customer service team's friendly attitude and dedication truly set them apart. Their commitment to customers is evident in every interaction, making the experience consistently positive.

European Vacation Must-have

I ordered this dress based on all the other reviews and I was SO happy I did. Great fit, light weight, you can dress it up and down and most importantly makes me feel pretty :) I haven’t even gone on the dang trip yet and I have worn it out twice, plus ordered another one in the burnt salmon color.

Cecile Kaftan Dress

I'm planning to go to Spain for July & this is going to be my robe, cover up at the beach, as well as a dress to wear out. Love all the options of this dress, buttons and /or the tie, loose, drawn in, open as kimono, or a dress with a split in it with buttons open - love love love a dress with options, that also has sleeves. The Barcelona print has such lovely colours especially for those of us with paler skin.
