Artisan Silk Kaftan Dress, V-Neck Collar, Washable
Our Artisan Silk Kaftan Dress is designed to fall beautifully rather than fit closely. Cut in substantial 27 momme mulberry silk, it drapes from the shoulders in one easy, fluid line, with enough weight to feel elegant and composed while remaining exceptionally comfortable. The generous silhouette makes it wonderfully simple to put on and take off, with nothing restrictive around the waist. It is equally beautiful standing or seated, where the silk gathers and falls naturally around the body and legs. Wear it at home, for dinner, while travelling, or whenever you want something that feels effortless but still looks considered and elegant. Made individually by our artisans in Vietnam using French seams throughout, and machine washable for easy everyday care. 100% natural mulberry silk, 27 momme Relaxed, flowing kaftan silhouette Easy to put on and take off Individually handmade French seams throughout for durability Machine washable Suitable for everyday wear, travel and special occasions Machine-Washable Luxury Silk (No Dry Cleaning Required) Most silk garments are dry clean only. Tara Sartoria silk is designed for real life. We use 27 momme natural mulberry silk, a heavier and more durable grade than the 19 to 22 momme silk commonly used in silk clothing.
