GET YA KAFTAN ON!
Question: Why do you never see someone looking unhappy in a kaftan?
Answer: Because they are supremely comfortable and are thrilled that they are not suffering from camel toe, digging in elastic or the dreaded VPL.
Even Oprah’s donning the kaftan! Photo by Sam Ruttyn, The Daily Mail (SA).
That is right. I am a kaftan fan, and if you are suspicious of this wonder-garment, I want you to go and make a cup of tea, take off your pants and get comfy on the couch, because I am here to convince you that you need to own at least one.
IMPORTANT: If you are working in an office environment, please remain panted and seated in an upright position at all times. It is just better for your career trajectory, I suspect.
I think before we look forward to examining the benefits of the kaftan, we need to look back and acknowledge gentlemen of the Ottoman, Istanbul, who rocked a kaftan as early as the 14th Century.
Check out Suleyman The Magnificent, working his kaftan “back” with an understated headpiece.
Kaftans continued their world domination as garments regularly worn by citizens in Morocco, Russia, West Africa and South East Asia, but it was not until the 1960’s that the Western World fell in love with the floating fabric that hid a multitude of sins and allowed you to have a second helping of pudding.
Did you know that strawberry shortcake was Jimi Hendrix’s Favourite Food? Hence the kaftan!
Designer Yves St. Laurent is widely acknowledged as being solely responsible for dragging the kaftan out of the hippy world and straight into the wardrobes of any gracious housewife of the 60s and 70s.
Known as a hostess gown, this garment was suitable for both casual and formal entertaining. I can still recall my grandmother getting about the kitchen barefoot, with a beer in one hand and a plate of cubed cheese in the other, dressed in something that might have come straight from this pattern…
Like a trench coat or a pair of classic black pumps, the kaftan has never really gone out of style.
SIDE NOTE: When I first told The Hoopla’s Editor, Wendy about my intention to write about the kaftan, she excitedly told me that I must mention “Melanie”. She was a little gobsmacked when I told her I had never heard of her.
But back to the benefits of the modern day kaftan…

Being ‘statuesque’(!), kaftans with colour and ‘long lines’ would flatter me.. but really, I just wanna let it all hang out and not let anyone know.
-
kATHRYN bROOMHALL November 28, 2012
I worry about my less than attractive size 14, 48 y.o body looking more tent linke than floaty in that much fabric. I can imagine my 16 y.o laughing – again. I will have to give it a try and see what the outcome is, just to join the woog trend
-
Nicole November 28, 2012
I have always wanted one, but am yet to find one of the flattering variety. Reading that Sacha is a curvy 14, as I am and the way she designs them sounds like the perfect version for me! xx
-
Natalie November 28, 2012
Oh it’s just gorgeous! I feel my happiest when in beautiful flowy kaftans. It’s also my birthday on Xmas day so I would love to rock this beautiful number for said birthday.
-
Anna November 28, 2012
Not only is the sacha drake kaftan to die for, but I want it because I’m pregnant and mumas got front she has to flatter!
-
Wendy November 28, 2012
this gorgeous number in beautiful fabric would disguise my post baby lumps and bumps perfectly
-
christine speight November 28, 2012
Realistic sizing to enhance my body shape…I’d be in kaftan heaven and my vertically challenged body could stand elegantly proud
-
Karen November 28, 2012
I am a total kaftan virgin. I would love to start my kaftan kampaign (see what I did there) with a Sacha Drake.
-
Clarinda November 28, 2012
That is the most beautiful Kaftan! Well, I’d love to win that Kaftan because I am currently sitting in a hospital bed modeling Hunter New England Healths version of a Kaftan, however, the cut and colour aren’t the most flattering. I think their designers need a little mentoring from Sacha. ( it does have airconditioning though…..)
-
Christine November 28, 2012
I have wanted my own Sacha Drake garment for some time, if only it can be this GORGEOUS kaftan I’ll have a very happy Christmas!!!
-
Kelli Stevens November 28, 2012
I’ve been looking for the perfect summer kaftan and I think this is exactly what I’m looking for. A gorgeous colour palette with a great floaty shape to cover my *ahem* lovely lady lumps.
-
Lynne S January 7, 2013
When a young thing of about 30 (now 72) I made my own sometimes from curtain fabric. They are fabulous. I am going to buy a sewing machine so that I can revisit them. Kaftans are sexy and cool. My husband would like one as well. We could go about in matching kaftans!

-
Chris November 28, 2012
Have been lusting after a Sascha Drake kaftan for a while now as they make everyone feel special, regardless of your shape.
-
Vyonne November 28, 2012
Being a 5’2 55 year old I would like the challenge of finding something (anything) that would look flattering on me! Here in Perth the vertically challenged have a difficult time finding clothes that aren’t for the tall and skinny
-
Wendy November 28, 2012
Would love to get my hands on this gorgeous kaftan, it would be my first! Need a bit of glam in my life!
-
Something Gorgeous November 28, 2012
I’m desperate for something new to wear over the Christmas period. I am a fan of Sacha Drake clothing and this Kaftan looks like the perfect thing to wear on my size 14 body.
-
Really? November 28, 2012
Never had a kaftan, maybe something to try this summer?
“Sacha believes in realistic sizing and pricing that is reflective of most women.”
$369 is NOT realistic pricing for A garment of clothing. Seriously it’s not. It’s ridiculously overpriced.
-
Mrs Woog November 28, 2012
There are chapter kaftans out there I am sure, but I sure do love this one, which is why I selected it. Good luck with your search! xx
-
-
Jo French November 28, 2012
Sacha Drake please drape that beautiful creation over my shoulders so I can walk taller and a little more confidently this summer.
-
Liz November 28, 2012
Never tried the kaftan.. but am seriously tempted too after reading this article (and of course Mrs Woog’s amazeballs blog post on them too!) given that i have a few lady lumps that need to be covered in a flattering way over the xmas season I feel a kaftan may actually provide me with such comfyness & ability to gorge myself on xmas goodies!
-
Michelle November 28, 2012
Kaftan virgin here but I think you may have almost convinced me of the benefits of adding a few to my wardrobe!
-
Gillian James November 28, 2012
As a teenager, Melanie was my jam…. She was psychadelically, slightly depressively awesome. And she ROCKED a kaftan. I could be Melanie. If I had THIS KAFTAN!
-
Brenda November 28, 2012
Love me a sexy kaftan, but am a bit vertically challenged……would love to see if I can rock this one – colours are brilliant. Might need to get me some white pants or some fake fake tan for my short stocky white legs – although, mayb if I wear it without pants, people will just THINK I have white pants on!
-
Michele November 28, 2012
still laughing at Brendas white pants/white legs comment above I can so relate.
-
Mrs Woog November 28, 2012
Same, I can relate as well, although I would be wearing hairy white pants xx

Sam Stone November 28, 2012
I am now converted to a Kaftan lover! Being 32 weeks pregnant in summer, I can’t believe I have not embraced the Kaftan sooner – what the frick was I thinking!
-
Liz B November 28, 2012
I’ll be in anything that allows an extra plate of strawberry goodness.
-
Karen November 28, 2012
I’m a kaftan virgin as well, and have to say the thought of a shapeless frock-like item of clothing makes me shudder – I have always thought I needed the darts and waistlines of many frocks to give me some shape (or should I say cover my misshappeness,). Having said that, I’m 40 soon and perhaps becoming a kaftan lover should be a sign I’m warding off my impending mid-life-crisis?!
-
Melanie November 28, 2012
I am still not sure, but that is why I need the Sacha one to fully convert me!
-
Jan Davies November 28, 2012
Kaftans announce clearly it’s summer. What a beautiful way to be chilled and relaxed in a brilliantly patterned flowing Kaftan.
-
Julie November 28, 2012
You are preaching to the converted. Even my partner loves a Kaftan on my, always tells me I look sexy in them.
-
Roxanne November 28, 2012
Sigh… that Sacha Drake Kaftan takes me to a happy place, a place free from the black and grey rainbow that is my 14/16/18 wardrobe.
-
Erin November 28, 2012
My wardrobe’s full of black & grey work suits and sensible tops. I desperately need some colour and flowing fabric on the weekends – help, makeover!?
-
Sharnanigans November 28, 2012
This Summer if I can’t tan, I Kaftan! This summer if I can’t lose fat, I Kaftan! This Summer if I’m hopeless at doing crafts with my kids, I Kaftan! I can’t do much but I Kaftan! I Kaftan – I really can!
-
Emily W November 28, 2012
Of all the benefits of a kaftan mentioned above I will test each one’s accuracy. I also have roughly 30kg of strawberry shortcake to hide!
-
Lisa Ferris November 28, 2012
Mrs Woog, you’ve convinced me!
I do not own a Kaftan but the idea of wearing no undies all summer is oddly appealing…Sacha Drake can you help a girl out here? -
Carole/m November 28, 2012
My favorite Kaftan wearer has always been legendary singer Nana Mouskouri, who at 78 years is still out there singing, recording and appearing on European Television in varying forms of the Kaftan.
Those of you who have been on the Planet as long as I, will also remember another famous Greek, Demis Roussos, who also wore the Kaftan.
That thought then leads my memory to the hilarious send up of Roussos on the Don Lane Show by Bert Newton, attired in a rather large Kaftan.
This leads me to Bert Newton who today is recovering in hospital after open heart surgery and is quite likely wearing the Rear Vented style Kaftan.
All Best Wishes to Bert & I wish him a speedy recovery.

missjane November 28, 2012
That Kaftan is awesome.
Everyone should try a kaftan, you just need to alter the length to suit you height.
This one looks as though it is silk, beautiful silk.
Lovely fabric to wear and look fantastic in. -

Melissa November 28, 2012
Love love love Sacha Drake. Love the look of this kaftan and have been thinking about giving one a go just recently … i was scared of looking like a colourful tent … but the “hide the tummy” factor wins out. I want one!

My challenge to wear that beautiful off-shoulder kaftan, (having had a mastectomy) means freedom.There is no room for cleavage in my life.
-
Vanessa November 28, 2012
I would love to own this because last time I wore a kaftan my mum told me I looked like I just stepped out of the 70s. This creation proves otherwise.
-
Bridget Ninness November 28, 2012
Sascha’s kaftan is the expression of the sensuous soul of a voluptuous Goddess! Dreaming of me transformed as Calliope floating elegantly around my “Pearlie” paradise.
-
Holly Collins November 28, 2012
I love the colour and the femine look and feel. Growing up with four brothers I’m only just starting to embrace my girly side and this would be great to keep me going.
-
KP November 28, 2012
I want to win, I’ve got to win! This Sacha Drake number is perfect for all sorts of spills and spurts over the holiday season, not to mention I’ve always wanted a frock that allows me to appear as though I’ve rolled in a lovely palette belonging to an esteemed French artist. The End.
-
Lizknits99 November 28, 2012
I would love to own a Kaftan because summer is a very challenging time of year for me. I am, lets say, well insulated so wearing clothes is very hot and uncomfortable. I would love to wear something cool but also delightful.
-
owlchimes November 28, 2012
As a Rubenesque woman of 66 years, I do own 1 caftan which has seen MUCH better days. Would love this one then I might lose the title of ‘family dag’.
-
Sarah November 28, 2012
Who wouldn’t want this gorgeous Kaftan? Loving the off the shoulder look! I also love the fact that the designer is a curvy 14 and designs her clothes using her own body! Love it!
-
Katie in Qld November 28, 2012
A kaftan wearer I am not,
But it’s hot.
So Mrs Woog, with Tyler’s silk
and it’s ilk,
Have me sold
To be bold. -
Paula November 28, 2012
The colours in this Kaftan are GORGEOUS and I think the style would flatter any figure – which is why I would LOVE to have it
-
Angela November 28, 2012
Every now and again a woman needs to feel fresh air on her bits. As a full seated woman, I find pants annoying, and want to frolick in a field of flowers in that sassy number.

Kate November 28, 2012
I have to confess that I’m a 42 year old kaftan virgin. I think it is time that I took the plunge! I can’t wait!!!

Nerina November 28, 2012
I’ve never been brave enough to even try on a Kaftan due to my short stature and fear of the kaftan swallowing me up whole!

Anything that makes a woman feel feminine and soft is a winner to me. I always get great compliments when I wear Sacha Drake.
-
SACHA DRAKE November 28, 2012
Thanks ladies!
The Tyler Kaftan is one of our favourite pieces this Summer and it’s only JUST hit the shop floor. So as you can imagine, we’re pretty excited about it too!
* Luxurious silk, which is exclusive to SACHA DRAKE,
* Flattering fit,
* It’s made right here in Australia, and
* It comes with a slip so you don’t feel too sheer… especially if you’re ditching the undies!Plus if you want to hint to the hubby, we are gift-wrapping for Christmas!
Thanks Mrs Woog x

Cherie Landamore-Harper November 28, 2012
It’s divine. It reminds me of a painting by “Monet”, and who wouldn’t want to wear a beautiful work of art, especially one by Sacha !

Erica November 28, 2012
WOW, what a beautiful print, a must have for this summer to make me feel glam away from the babies, with some cheeky cocktails!!

Having just had my third bubba I would love to be spoiled with this kaftan! Perfect to wear to my baby’s christening!
-
Cheryl November 28, 2012
Amazing colours and would look devine on any lady. Especially myself as I don’t have anything bright in my cupboard and don’t normally get to spend on myself being a Mumma to 5 children. This would be a real treat through Summer!

Debra V November 28, 2012
Not only am I a huge Sacha Drake fan, but I am 45 yo mum to a 18 month old and 4 year old. My 45 year old stomach has never recovered from 2 babies so late in life. This gorgeous kaftan would provide the perfect combination of camouflague and glamour that I need
-
Mary J November 28, 2012
Ah, being all floaty and silky and glamorous would lift my summertime so so much! Just beautiful!
-
Amanda Burrows November 28, 2012
Why do I want to win a Kaftan? Simple, because winning one is the only way on God’s green earth that I would be able to own a Tyler Kaftan! (Financially inhibited.

Diana November 28, 2012
Never considered kaftans until Camilla Frank’s ram raids. Went in to have a look: bought one on the spot. Loved it – gorgeous. I’d love another.
-
Sue Bell November 28, 2012
OMG I used that pattern to make kaftans and they made me look really, really short and really really fat. Think of others who have abused the kaftan Demis Roussous and Kamal, shock horror!
-
Jalena November 28, 2012
This kaftan would suit my lifestyle perfectly! I can escape the ironing pile, look elegant as I drive children around, and stay cool during another school presentation morning.

Seeing Hendrix in a Kaftan makes me wonder how I’d look in one!
-
marie November 28, 2012
The kaftan has been a topic of conversation between my 20 yr old daughter and myself over the last couple of weeks- I have been tempted to buy one but she keeps telling me I will look like grandma ! let me show that daughter of mine how glam her mum could look- kaftan + Hendrix + wine = whoa baby !
-
Hayley November 29, 2012
I reckon the kaftan would be the best style for my post Caesarean (x 3) body. Light, breezy and hides the dreaded verandah belly!
-
Amanda November 29, 2012
Been looking still haven’t found one that suits. I am short and big busted they all make me look huge. I want to look sexy
-
Trish November 29, 2012
I have never owned a kaftan mainly because I associate them with gorgeous glamourous women and I have to admit I don’t identify as that type of women! But, it’s never too late to change and I would love a swishy, bright kaftan to brighten up my boring wardrobe.
-
Lisa Leece November 29, 2012
the colours make me happy. I’d love to wear it to the SIDS &Kids QLD christmas memorial to cheer up other mums whose babies died.

Seana Smith November 29, 2012
Although my fashion sense was forged, and remains, in the 1970′s, I’ve never had a kaftan. Surely shome mistake?
-
Miriam Simmons November 29, 2012
Pretty much because I can consume an entire Christmas Dinner and not worry about the bulge over my shorts being seen!
-
Kylie Rogers November 29, 2012
Although currently kaftanless I feel this is the summer of the kaftan for me and I would love to own one this gorgeous!
-
Janelle November 29, 2012
Oh to look that good in a Kaftan would be great. Also not to have to worry about all my flaws and be gorgeous and comfortable!!
-
Steph November 29, 2012
I already sing loudly from the kaftan songsheet, but I’d love to add this stunning example to my small collection as sometimes a woman needs to wear something fabulous to create a streamlined figure from a mum-tum and big bum. And it’s nicer to swoosh around the kitchen in a kaftan and pretend you’re on a luxury yacht somewhere than in a pair of old yoga pants and my partner’s bonds singlet.
-
Paula November 29, 2012
I’m convinced. I’ve just had kid number 3 and need flowing flattering clothes in my repertoire!
-
Jenelle Coote November 29, 2012

Mrs Woog you could sell ice to Eskimos (margaritas anyone?)…. you have convinced me I NEED a stylish, stunning, and COMFORTABLE Kaftan by Sacha Drake!
-
BB November 29, 2012
I’ve always stayed clear of kaftans, not living the high life in St Barts and all. Mrs W, your points are awesome, but that Sacha Drake kaftan is stunning!! Not only am I convinced, but I MUST wear it on NYE!

-
Sam November 30, 2012
Babe number 3 has surprisingly done nothing for my waistline, a Kaftan would be the perfect camouflage this summer! Sadly my wardrobe is lacking in the Kaftan department, this situation needs to be fixed ASAP!
-
ro.watson November 30, 2012
I lack ambition. What you are offering is NOT a Kaftan, however lovely the garment might be, to wear on a hot summer night, with or without knickers. I am a stickler. Kaftans have long sleeves and should be just above the ankles?
-
Shirley December 11, 2012
Love a kaftan but have to ask the question: WHY are they so expensive? Think about it. There is minimal sewing involved, it is a fairly basic outfit. You can’t say it’s the fabric, I’ve seen better quality fabric made into more intricate dresses at half the price they try and flog kaftans for. Seriously, why the big bucks?
