ISO cover up

[rakkasah_barbara]

I'm looking for an elegant non sheer cotton coverup, preferably with a complete front opening or at least a front closure and/or big neckline. I'm a little under 5.7" wear a 34B bra, have a 36" upperhip and 39.5" bumm.

I'm pretty open to a variety of colors/styles but I especially like the turquoise Traditional Caftan II on Dahlal: Dahlal Internationale : Accessories

If anyone has something that might work, please let me know!

I've got a royal blue morrocan caftan I'm considering selling.
It's a bit too dark now to get pictures (and I have terrible lighting at home) but I can get some tomorrow morning, if you want.
It's straight cut, with long wide sleeves (not the style you mention) and has yellow embroidery with buttons from top to bottom.
I've never worn it as the color didn't turn out to suit me all that well.

I'd like to get approx. €75 for it (shipping to the Netherlands included)

Let me check at home - I have a few that I was thinking about selling.

I might be interested in seeing pictures of these pieces, as well. It's hard to find good caftans.

Leila Azziza & Ravenadesigns sorry for this late reply but I would like to get pics and sizes please. You can e-mail them to enta dot omri at telfort dot nl. Thanks!

I have four caftan styles available

Nile Queen green and gold - $12
This is a very full caftan made by Nile Queen. The size says medium but this will fit large/XL with no issue. This is a little shorter caftan so it would be perfect for women under 5'5. Made of cotton and in good condition.
Size: M/L/XL

Black with mirrors - $35
Silky like exterior with black linen interior. It features a beautiful embroidered design with tiny mirrors that look like diamonds. The colors are salmon, pale pink, gold, and silver. M/L

Smithsonian Caftan - $60
I actually bought this from the Smithsonian Institute store. It is made of black cotton and the shape more resembles the Nile Queen. The embroidery color is a combo of blues, greens, and purples. The design continues onto the shoulders and along the back. I paid $80 for this one and only wore it a few times.

Cover-up - $25
This is more a galabeya but can be used as a cover-up. This buttons the whole way down and is made of a smooth satin like material. Heavy-duty!! Men's Large.

[rakkasah_barbara]

Can you please measure this one for me as I'm afraid ia men's large will be really big on me?
