About the Item

Halfway between a kaftan and a maxi coat, this sheer topper makes up in glamour what it lacks in warmth. The repeating floral pattern consists of clear bugle beads that catch and reflect light, while the hollow gold balls at each flower's center create evening-worthy shimmer. This single garment has the power to elevate the humblest outfit and would be a perfect travel or resort piece; it could even be worn as a bathing suit cover up! Collarless sheer beaded kaftan with 2 ½’ slits both sides; 1 ½” bead-crusted trim around neckline, down front opening and around hemline and cuffs. Lightly padded shoulders; single hook and eye closure at throat with no other closures of any kind. Fully lined in black poly chiffon (but remains very sheer). fabric: silk chiffon, polyester, beads noteworthy: dry clean only alterations: none condition: excellent measurements: neckline circumference: 20” (closed) shoulders: 16 ½” sleeve: 24 ½” from shoulder; 17” from underarm sleeve circumference: 15” at upper arm, 10” at wrist bust: approx. 44” waist: approx. 42” hips: approx. 44” length: 50” from shoulder, 40” from underarm sweep: approx. 46” (side slits closed) slits: 30” each side label: Mark & John by Gopal size: vintage size extra large; comparable to modern size medium – large depending on what is worn underneath
