Sakkas Batik Palm Tree Cap Sleeve Caftan Dress/Cover Up

I love everything about this dress, it's color, fit and style, very complementary. The cap sleeves are a beautiful sheer material with embroidering and splashes of the tan color. The neckline is very nice, the tan accents are the color of my skin which I think looks gorgeous. It's like a silk thread that outlines the designs. It's somewhat sheer which I love wearing around the house especially on hot days. I would put on underwear if I had company or going next door.Like all of these gauze type dresses, they need to be hand washed and line dried, which is quick and easy, the first wash always has extra color bleeding. The darker color of this dress was also staining to my sink and hands which cleaned up easily, I would suggest washing in a bucket outside for the first time.I have at least 6 of these gauze type Sakkas dresses and love them all, each is different in style and colors. I did have to return one, without any hassle, because it was too tight around the arm holes. I wear them as a house dress and feel very elegant in them. Problem for me is that they are so comfortable I dread to have to wear anything else!

I purchased this dress to wear in Hawaii on vacation and absolutely love it. It looks just like the photo. I wore it as a dress, not a beach cover-up, for which I recommend wearing a slip of some sort underneath.The dress has a perfect weight to it so it hangs beautifully and flows nicely when you walk - never felt like it was tangling around my legs. The stitching is nice. Upon close examination, the cap sleeves are made out of a slightly different material which matches nicely and adds a little something extra. I am 5'3, and the longest part of the dress came close to touching the ground in flat shoes...but not quite. The size is generous and should fit most anyone. I'm a size 12 and had lots of room. In fact, it was so comfortable I wanted to wear EVERY DAY! It is a hand wash item, and the color bled a lot when I washed it, but the dress didn't seem faded afterward. You will like this dress!!

I was afraid to order this dress, figuring it was probably junk at the price offered. But after reading the reviews decided to try it. Its beautiful! I am 5'2" and not exactly slim and have never worn this style of dress before so was afraid it would really make me look dumpy. Surprise! It is very flattering. The length is not quite to my ankles in the back, a little shorter in the front and even shorter at the sides so it doesn't look like a maxi dress. It flows over my figure and hides all the imperfections and actually makes me look thinner. I'm pretty busty and there's plenty of room, the arm holes are plenty big enough, in fact I'm going to take a small tuck under each arm to make it a little smaller so my bra and slip won't show.You will need to wear a slip underneath. I bought black so even though it's sheer it isn't extremely see-through.The flutter sleeves are very pretty and big enough for someone with big arms. I only gave it four stars because I haven't washed it yet. I don't know how it will hold up but I'm going to wash it in cold water on the delicate cycle and hang dry it.I love it so far. I'm over sixty and this dress is not too young looking. I think anyone of any age (or weight) could wear it.

Love this cotton dress. It is the fifth I have ordered through Sakkas, and it does not disappoint. Really pretty, comfortable and the black is forgiving of curves you don't want everyone to notice. I will wear it mostly around the house since it would be see-through in the sunlight, but it is so nice in this tropical climate in the South . May get a cotton slip or bloomers to wear outside. The bottom of this dress is much more attractive with the longer length and more balanced hem. When they are very lopsided it is not as becoming.VERY NICE!

I have their tops which are one size and they fit great. However when I purchased the dress, it is a tad too volumous for me. I'm 5'2" and weigh 133 lbs. I kept it and like it but won't be wearing it out to lunch with friends. It doesn't wrinkle easily and I love that.

I love these dresses. I have several. I just had knee surgery and appreciate the simplicity of getting dressed. They’re comfortable during hot, humid summer days.

Cute but way too big

I purchased this dress for a cruise I am going on. I thought the material might be thin and flimsy as most dresses purchased in the Caribbean are but was delighted when I unpackaged it and the material was not so.This dress is beautiful and the material is flowy. The stitching detail is well done. This dress can be worn casually or it can be dressed up with a beautiful neckless.I am so happy I bought this dress!
