Full Moon Kaftan

Curvy Swimwear’s Full Moon Kaftan is the perfect plus size kaftan cover up that can be worn over swimsuits but also out to lunch or shopping. The design is cut exactly like its name as a full moon, or large circle. When you lift your arms up it gives you a bat wing shape that falls beautifully to your sides. The V neck front has a tie with crystal beads at each end.

The batik inspired print gives this kaftan an on trend boho feel, while adding interest to an otherwise simple design. Although it is lightweight, the fabric is still thick enough that you can’t see through it, making it a perfect option for wearing out at night or for a day of shopping.

Available in one size fits most from a size 10 – 22 in navy and white and black and white.
