Vintage Ivory Gold Floral Embroidered Vintage Caftan Dress

About the Item

The kaftan is a garment traditionally found in the Middle East and near surrounding regions. Originally it was worn for its immense functionality for the climate and the day-to-day activities of the resident cultures. Here, this ivory wool kaftan, handmade in Lebanon features gold embroidery throughout in the motif of flowers that heavily decorate the front panels and sleeves. At the seam lines, a thick embroidery that mimics piping is done. Hand crochet detailing is done around the neck and flows down the centre where a series of over 80 buttons and loops are positioned as a closure. Culturally rich and exquisite craftsmanship, this Lebanese kaftan is surely an original wardrobe addition. Size estimate: M/L Measurements: Shoulders: 21.5 inches (dropped shoulder seam) Sleeves: 16 inches Bust: up to 41 inches Waist: up to 41 inches Hips: 42 inches Length; 53 inches Slits from about knee level to the hem are on both sides. Unlined, the edges are carefully bound with gold ribbon. This kaftan is in excellent condition. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
