DESIGN & DETAILS

Your little black dress is taking a holiday. Our Black Short Kaftan Dress brings a softer, more relaxed mood to the wardrobe favourite—think slow mornings on the terrace and lingering over dinner with the sea just beyond your table.

Soft, lightweight rayon drapes beautifully, while kimono sleeves and a floaty cut give you room to settle into the slower pace. A gentle V neckline finished with handmade cotton tassels adds a little bohemian charm, and subtle side splits keep movement easy.

Cut in individual sizes, this kaftan offers a considered fit with a little extra length as sizes increase. It’s designed to sit just above the knee on someone around 163 cm tall: lovely worn as a dress, and just as inviting slipped over swimwear.

Keep things simple with slides and a woven bag, or let the classic black become the backdrop for colourful earrings and strappy sandals when an afternoon out turns into dinner plans.

The fabric is pre-treated before cutting and sewing to prevent shrinkage in the wash, so your kaftan retains the size you purchased—ready for your next holiday, and all the lovely ordinary days between.

SIZING

This short kaftan dress is designed for a relaxed, floaty fit. Compare both your bust and hip measurements with the body measurement ranges in the Size & Fit Guide, using the larger measurement to help select your size.

The dress is cut in individual sizes rather than one-size-fits-most, and a little extra length is added as sizes increase. See Model Details below for examples of how it falls on different heights.

MODEL DETAILS

Alisha (brunette) is pictured wearing SM. She usually wears AU 10–12, is 167 cm tall and measures 94 cm at the bust, 77 cm at the waist and 99.5 cm at the hips.

Stace (brunette) is pictured wearing ML. She usually wears AU 16 and is 175 cm tall, providing a useful reference for how the dress length falls on a taller frame.

The beautiful curves model Amanda (short blonde) is wearing our size ML in this cut. She's a size 18 against our sizing chart. Amanda is also 170 cm in height

Compare your measurements with the Size & Fit Guide above; the model examples show how different sizes drape and where the hem falls at different heights.

CUSTOM OR IMPORT DUTY FEES (OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA ONLY)

Please note that there may be duties charged by your Customs Department once your parcel enters your country. Those costs are not covered as part of your order transaction (unless you are in the USA) and are additional and are paid directly by you to that authority. The fees vary by country and the value of your order. 

If you do not accept delivery of your order, we cannot refund the cost of original shipping as that service has been expended. If charges are incurred, by us, in returning your product/s to us in Australia, those costs will be deducted from the refund of your returned item.

If you are not completely happy with your purchase, we will happily offer a refund, exchange or store credit on eligible items, subject to the conditions below. This includes full-priced items, items purchased using our first purchase discount, Outfit Sets and items marked SALE. Items marked FINAL SALE are final sale and are not eligible for change-of-mind returns, refunds, exchanges or store credit.

Before you return your product, please make sure that:

  • the product was purchased in the last 30 days (60 days for international returns)
  • the product still has its tags 
  • the product isn't used or damaged
  • the product is free from perfume / smoke smells or makeup marks (a flat fee of $5 will charged if laundry is required)

Sale Items

Items marked SALE are temporarily reduced and are eligible for a refund, exchange or store credit under our standard Returns Policy, provided they meet the return conditions above.

Outfit Sets receiving the 20% set discount are not considered Sale or Final Sale items. If one item from an Outfit Set is returned, the refund will be adjusted to account for the set discount applied to the item being retained.

To arrange an exchange please include a note as to the size you'd like to swap for and a self addressed pre-paid parcel satchel. If one isn't enclosed we will issue a store credit.

Buy 1, Get 1 Sale Items

To qualify, you must buy one garment from the specified collection to receive the discount off the second item. Both items must be purchased in the one transaction and have the same delivery address (BOGO discounts do not apply to Pre-Order items as the items are sent at different times)

The discount will be applied to the cheaper item. A refund will void the discount so that the full price is applied to the item retained and the refund amount adjusted accordingly for the discount and initial postage costs.

Free Gift with Purchase

The item provided as your free gift is not refundable for cash and cannot be exchanged as part payment of another item.

It is only redeemable with the purchase of a physical product which requires shipping - both items will be sent together. 

Should you return the associated product and retain the free gift, the retail value of the free gift will be deducted from your refund. 

Clearance or Final Sale Items

Items marked FINAL SALE are end-of-line or final pieces and are sold as final sale. Please choose carefully, as Final Sale items cannot be returned for a refund, exchange or store credit for change of mind.

Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected. If an item is faulty, damaged or otherwise does not meet a consumer guarantee, please contact us so we can assist you.

Customs Duties, Tariffs and Import Charges

For orders shipped to the USA, any customs duties, tariffs or other import charges paid on your behalf are non-refundable. If you return an order, these charges are not refunded to us by US customs authorities. Your refund will therefore cover the eligible returned goods only and will exclude these charges.
