A caftan, sometimes spelled kaftan, is an ankle-length, flowing garment that has long sleeves.
The caftan may also be worn by women in the US, where it is typically called a muumuu.It is usually worn as a housedress, a nightgown or a swimsuit cover-up, and can be extremely comfortable. A caftan can be especially useful during very hot weather, especially if it is 100% cotton. Cotton-poly blends tend to retain more body heat. Many people also feel silk is too warm for the hot months. Most caftans that can be purchased in the US are made as one size fits all garments. Generally this means that only one size is available, and it is large enough to fit most people.
