What matters when shipping kaftans

Cotton and silky kaftans are light and fold well, while heavily embroidered ones weigh a little more; combine them with jalabiyas and abayas in one parcel to spread the cost.

Length and embroidery

Kaftans are often one loose size, so compare the full length in centimetres with your height in shoes. Ask for beaded or sequinned pieces folded with tissue between layers, and read washing instructions for silky fabrics.

Fabric and cut

A women’s kaftan may be crepe, chiffon, satin or cotton, and the fabric sets the use: light for summer and at home, embroidered for occasions. Look at the shoulder width and total length in centimetres in the size chart, because a kaftan is loose and its numeric size can mislead.

Embroidery and care

Kaftans embroidered with gold thread or beads are usually dry-clean only, so read the care label before buying, and check that the embroidery is stitched, not stuck on. For occasions ask about the lining, because see-through chiffon needs an underlayer.

Folding and protecting the embroidery

An embroidered kaftan is folded with tissue paper between the layers and is not pressed under heavy items, otherwise beads break and the fabric warps. Ask for it to be packed in its own bag inside the parcel, and do not combine it with shoes or hard objects.
