Kaftan

The word kaftan (‘caftan’) came from a Persian word ‘khaftan’, and entered English via Turkish and French. A khaftan was originally a long vest-like robe with long sleeves that was tied at the waist. In Western fashion, the word kaftan was first used to describe a long, flowing dress around the mid-1950s.

Kaftan is a long, loose and flowing dress with wide sleeves with a deep open neck or fully open to the floor
