About this piece

Elevate your style with the Cecile Kaftan in our Samba Leopard, a luxurious blend of elegance and versatility inspired by the beauty of the wild. Crafted from a silk-like fabric made from recycled plastic bottles, this kaftan drapes beautifully, creating a flattering silhouette that moves with you.

Perfectly suited as a beach cover-up or an evening statement piece, it effortlessly transitions from day to night. Fabric-covered buttons and a clasp ensure modesty and adjustability, while side seam pockets add a touch of practicality. Wear it loose for an easy, flowing look or cinch the waist with the adjustable drawstring for a more defined fit.

Not exactly! While our suits are true to Australian standard sizing, it’s common for women to size down in Baiia suits. The reason for this is because we most commonly recommend sizes based on measurements rather than dress sizes, so many women find their best fit in a different size to what they typically wear in clothing. 

If two or more of your measurements fit within one size, we tend to recommend that one for the perfect fit. If your measurements span three or more sizes, we tend to recommend taking the one in the middle. If you feel you have a particularly short or long torso, you may find a better fit in one size down or up. We suggest emailing us at fitexpert@baiia.com.au prior to purchase if you have any questions or concerns about your correct size.

Our fabrics are resistant to suncream and oils, but we still recommend taking care when wearing sunscreen and/or makeup, as well as taking care to remove marks as soon as possible to prevent staining.

A common ingredient in sunscreen known as avobenzone can contribute to stains, so you may wish to use sunscreens without this component.

For more tips on removing sunscreen and how to avoid staining, we found this article that may help.

HOW TO WEAR

To answer simply: yes, it’s completely normal! But how do I know if what I’m experiencing isn’t normal? We've put together a really detailed blog where we explain what’s to be expected when it comes to trying on your first Baiia swimsuit and tips to getting it on that first time.Read here.

SUSTAINABILITY & CARE

The major difference between the two styles is how many pieces they're composed of.

​The 3-piece Wrapsuit consists of 1 chest piece, 1 body piece and 1 detachable tie; all together they complete a full swimsuit, which you can then reverse, and mix & match with other Wrapsuits to create multiple unique looks. ​

​The 4-piece Bikini consists of the Bikini top made of 2 chest pieces and 1 detachable tie, and the ultra-high waisted Bikini Bottom  - equalling 4 pieces when purchased all together! The Bikini can be worn like a classic Bikini style or made to look like a Wrapsuit, as well as mix & matched with other Bikinis.

Reviews

Lovely dress, the cut and

"Lovely dress, the cut and fit is really nice. I’m short waisted and worried it may be to bulky in the middle but the self gather waist feels like you can self adjust it to your liking. My only concern is the fabric, although lightweight and quick drying it’s heavy in polyester or recycled material which makes it really static. I’ve tried anti static sprays and a damp cloth to remove it but it comes back. It would be so much better in a rayon, silk or softer linen."

— Kerry C. (3/5)

"I am obsessed with this gorgeous kaftan. The mesh fabric is beyond soft, the Tailoring of this garment is exquisite, the details of the buttons and claps are carefully thought out. This is a very flattering piece that ran slightly larger than my regular size. I wish the mesh came in more colors/patterns."
