Nice for a cover up but this one is very sheer and not for a garden party as the description suggests also not silky soft like the classic kaftan.
This was a beautiful cover-up, I love the fabric and the fit was perfect.
The Plus-Size Resort Wear Guide: 10 Pieces That Actually Fit and Flow
The hardest part of shopping for plus-size resort wear isn't finding the size — it's finding pieces that flow instead of cling. Caftans, kaftans, and flowy A-line maxi dresses solve this beautifully. They skim rather than constrict, which is exactly what you want in 85°F humidity, and they look intentionally relaxed (not too-tight).
Here are ten plus-size-friendly resort pieces from our 2026 collection, all available in our extended size range.

- Flowy, not flowing-down. You want fabric that has movement and falls away from the body, not fabric that pools on the floor. Rayon and lightweight cotton are perfect.
- Empire and A-line beat bodycon. A higher waistline skims the midsection; A-line silhouettes expand toward the hem. Both photograph better than tight cuts.
- Avoid stretchy synthetics. Polyester-spandex blends cling everywhere when you sweat. Look for natural fibers.
- Sleeves are your friend. They prevent bra-strap exposure and look intentional. Long sleeves in light rayon don't add heat.
- Bold prints flatter more than solids. Tropical and floral prints camouflage; solid black or red reveal every line.
Frequently asked questions
Are caftans plus-size friendly?
Caftans are essentially the most plus-size-friendly garment ever made. They drape from the shoulder, skim the body, and look intentional at every size.
What's the best fabric for plus-size summer dresses?
Rayon and viscose. They breathe, they drape (rather than cling), they don't show sweat marks as visibly as polyester, and they wash beautifully.
Can plus-size women wear bodycon dresses in resort settings?
Of course — at any size. But for hot humid weather and long days, flowy cuts will be more comfortable physically and will look more 'effortless resort.'
How do I avoid looking frumpy in caftans?
Choose caftans with a defined neckline (V, scoop, or surplice), a bold print rather than a small ditsy floral, and a slightly fitted shoulder. Avoid caftans that are uniformly tent-like top to bottom.
What's the most flattering caftan length for plus-size women?
Ankle-length or floor-length. Mid-calf caftans can cut you off at the widest part of the calf, which is less flattering.
