Kaftan Dresses is an independent guide for people in Australia who love, or are curious about, kaftans. We publish plain-language guides in three areas: styles, covering kaftan shapes, beach and resort wear, occasions and styling; fabrics and care, covering fabrics, washing, silk care and sun protection; and buying, covering size and fit, buying online, second-hand and sustainable choices, and packing for travel. Our free kaftan finder suggests fabric, length, neckline and care for your needs.
Why we exist
This web address was once home to an online kaftan boutique, which later closed. Kaftans are easy to wear but surprisingly easy to get wrong: the wrong fabric for the climate, a length that drags, or a care label that doesn't suit your routine. We want to bring the essentials together in one place, grounded in official and expert sources.
How we work
We write every guide in our own words. For rules and facts, we rely on official and expert sources such as ACCC Product Safety, the Federal Register of Legislation, ARPANSA, the ACCC, Scamwatch, museum collections and encyclopaedias, and we list our sources on each page. We never invent statistics, prices, quotes or reviews, and we don't rank or recommend shops or labels.
