A new caftan for fall
I need a new look for fall and have decided on a new caftan or two. The ones linked below are nice but maybe a bit too casual? Anyone have a favorite shop they could recommend?
Sizing doesn't matter as I will probably buy two and see them together anyway.

There's a great feature where delighted customers write inn with testimonials and post photos of themselves in their new kaftans!
This is "Dave": "I had been seeing the ads on here and thought they looked so comfortable. Luckily this stripe was in stock. Didn’t take long to get it. And I absolutely love it!!! So comfy, easy to move and relax in, and very sexy. Just sheer enough. Not sure how the other pattens are but the sheer stripes in this one are perfect. Will try others. Can’t wait. Thank you Kaftko."

From "Gary A":
"I was introduced to this amazing company by a friend of mine when I posted a article on large men and fashion. The cover of this story was a very cute man wearing a deep green Kaftan. So I had to have one and support a small business during COVID that was LGBTQ2SAI and BiPOC. When my Kaftan arrived, I was in love how it felt on the body and the way it flowed. I will definitely be buying some more!"
