Best Knee Length silk designer kaftans. If you prefer a longer length and looser fitting garment, the silk kaftans called Daiquiri are beautiful. Designed for warm days, the Daiquiri style is decorated with fine sequins and bead across the neckline, the back of the neck and the floaty silk sleeves in a vertical line which creates a very flattering silhouette shape of silk kaftan. Sitting just above the knee, you feel dressed for wandering around your resort hotel.  The hand tie dye technique is a vertical pattern with toning colours. Our designer Lindsey has chosen subtle colours that work well together such as Aqua with a pale aqua decorated with gold, rose pink that has a subtle blush neutral tone mixed with tie dye and rose gold sequins. When choosing a silk kaftan to wear at night, we always suggest the sitting down test in all silk garments, as our designs are loose and floaty the silk fabric drapes beautifully on the body allowing you to go up a size if needed. When trying on our Lindsey Brown silk kaftans, ensure that when seated the garment does not pull on the hips or tummy. You want to feel relaxed and comfortable, wearing silk that is too tight can cause pressure onto the seam, so always go one size up if you are unsure. Our one sized silk kaftans start from a size small through to 5xlarge.  By night, wear with a skin tone slip dress underneath as a loose cool silk designer kaftan. Style with metallic accessories to pick up the sequin colours in rose gold or gold.  The black kaftan looks super stylish with black sandals too. As the neckline is decorated you can keep your jewellery to a minimum with fine gold chains or earrings. 

Best silk designer kaftans for a larger dress size. Our drop waisted silk garments are so flattering for ladies who have a larger bust size, or who may have a larger tummy and want to hide this. The blouson shape drapes beautifully over the abdomen.  This shape is super flattering for all shapes and sizes as you can draw the shoulders tighter or looser depending on your shoulder frame. You can be petite and loosen the shoulder straps with the low v back, to allow more room on the bust so you do not have to go up a dress size. This style is called Monterey, and the fabulous signature look of Lindsey Brown resort wear silk tie dye is very flattering. Our vertical patterns draw the eye away from the body. Lindsey has added a ruffled sleeve and a delicate line of gold beads. Choose the colour to suit your skin tone and match your swimwear in vibrant shades of yellow, papaya and aqua. By night, wear this pretty silk designer kaftan with a skint one half-slip and matching skin tone underwear. Some ladies question this, saying they do not want to wear another layer on holiday in humid heat. Trust us, a fine skin tone microfibre half-slip or slip dress will ensure your silk kaftan sits smoothly over your skin. It helps to avoid unnecessarily visible lines.  We would wear Monterey with metallic accessories or neutral tones of light tan and woven raffia to soften the look.  The length is above the knee and the v neckline sits above the bra.

Best Maxi length silk designer kaftans to wear both day and night. If you prefer to be more covered, we have a fabulous collection of printed silk kaftans. Our hand tie dye silk kaftans called Havana are in our collection all year round.  This maxi length echoes the signature look of Lindsey Brown resort wear, with a low v neck, soft floaty sleeves and a low back. The waist is elasticated and one size fits from small to xlarge. The hemline is left plain so you can alter the length to your desired height, without compromising on the beautiful design. Light weight and floaty, this maxi length and floaty kaftan look is ideal for floating through paradise. New shades being added each season for winter sun holiday in November and again in May.   By night, style with a full length slip dress, or one finishing at the knee in skin tone. We would suggest opting for a black slip dress under the black and pink silk maxi kaftan. Like many of our silk kaftans, the attention to detail is in the neckline, so you do not have to worry about packing jewellery and after a day in sun kissed paradise it feels so nice to wear silk against your sun kissed skin.
