Nothing says summer elegance quite as well as a dramatic caftan. Get Caftan Body ready with Charlie, a fresh take on this warm weather staple. All versions feature a deep V neckline, kimono sleeves, inset center panel and roomy pockets.
View A is modern and architectural with striking pleats beneath the bust.
For a softer, more romantic dress, Views B & C feature a gently gathered bodice with an optional waist tie for a figure skimming silhouette in two skirt lengths.
You may also choose between a dramatically wide kimono sleeve, or one slightly higher cut for more coverage.
