    Thumbs up Lovely coverup caftans for 19$

    While searching for nice coverups I found these!They are only 19$(some shorter are 14$) and many even include a matching headband scarf

    I especially like these models:"Goddess"(in red),"Raquell","Sary","Queen Zhinga" and "Dita":

    Looking at those makes me wish I could wear a caftan all the time! I like the ones you mentioned, Emma-bessa, and also the Sunset. I thought the caftan dress was pretty too.

    Re: Lovely coverup caftans for 19$

    I think itīs so HARD to find nice and affordable coverups-if they shipped to Sweden I would probably buy 50 at the time..itīs not nice(I donīt like to see I mean)pros,semi pros and students running around in costume when not on stage...

    And yes that Sunset...lurve it!

    For the UK/EU Bhuzzers:

    I really like this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Layers-Red-B...item68c67a57ed

    These are OK too:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Moroccan-D...item68c66de509

    For those(like me)practically live in caftans,they have lovely patio dresses/nightgowns in nice materials:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-PLAIN-Lila...item2303c0e408

    for what it's worth, i ordered one from here on the spur of the moment on Feb 10th (in the middle of the revolution in egypt -- didn't think -_-"), and have recieved an email notice saturday (feb. 12), that it had been shipped.
    now to see if the postal service works, lol ^^ it's estimated 14-18 days before i get it (i chose the cheaper, slower shipping -- if you choose the faster shipping, you get a tracking number)
    i'll let you know how it goes and the quality of the product...

    I'm a caftan, galabaya, moo-moo, etc, addict.

    The moment I get home after work, I usualy step into one of my collection. My husban joke about it saying it makes him feel like he living with the re-incarnation of Mrs. Roper from the "Three's Company" sitcom.

    I don't know how many Ross Stores are out there but I found a good variety of caftans there for $8.00 - $12.00(I'm in Knoxville, TN and I found very similar caftan inventory at a Ross in Phoenix AZ.) HOpe this helps :)

    Iīve only bought muu-muuīs(not the coverups) but they are lovely,and they ship fast!

    Friends who bought coverups have been happy with the service,and measurements have been correct.

    Since I donīt need to look representative(I work with online support)Iīm slowly realizing that I own 3 different type of clothes:
    1:Training clothes in garish lycra,in the tradition of Raqia Hassan.
    2:Blingy party clothing.
    3:Comfy abayas/muu muuīs/galabeyas/caftans in materials like viscose/rayon/silk/modal/cotton/linen.
