A caftan is an ankle-length, snug-fitting item of clothing with your choice of short or long sleeves. They look great especially for plus size women because of the enhancement that they provide. It has become one of the must-have pieces of clothing for the plus size women. The caftan has a long history and an even more interesting presence today.
Originating from the Mesopotamia and various African countries, the caftan was first believed to appear around 600 BC. In and around the 13th century, its style spread across Eastern Europe and Russia. This inspired basic garments that later were made in the 19th century. From Russia, the caftan spread towards Turkey, who in turn brought the style to Hungary and Poland when they took control of these countries during the Ottoman Empire.
During the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century, the material of a person's caftan was an indication of one's social status. The caftans around that time were crafted from satin, silk, velvet and metallic threads. The luxuriousness of these caftans made it a perfect gift to visiting people such as ambassadors, dignitaries, heads of state, master artisans, bureaucrats and other government officials.
Recently, these caftans are now growing popular with women, especially plus size women. More fashion designers, nowadays, have been more accommodating to these types of women. This is because they know what they want. They know the types of cuts and styles that enhance their figure and define their curves. They also know what type of fabrics, materials, and colors that looks good and feel great on them.
With caftans, it is not just a robe that you can wear anywhere. Women have made it more personal and unique to themselves by adding belts and sashes when wearing them. Some women have also would have multi-layered sleeves with slits at the shoulders to show off the contrasting fabrics underneath. And let's not forget about jewelry. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets --- you name it, women have definitely made the caftan more stylish and more than just a robe.
