Best Plus-Size Kaftans in Australia for Mature Women

Finding stylish clothing that fits well and feels comfortable can be challenging for mature and plus-size women. Many pieces are either too fitted and clingy or too oversized and shapeless. A well-cut kaftan in a soft, silk-like modal fabric can be the perfect middle ground.

Why Kaftans Work So Well on Plus-Size & Mature Figures

Kaftans are designed to drape rather than hug the body. Our one-size styles fit approximately AU sizes 10–24, with a relaxed cut through the bust, tummy and hips. This creates a long, vertical line that visually lengthens the body while still allowing plenty of movement and airflow.

For mature women, sleeves and coverage are often important. Most of our kaftans feature elbow-length or longer sleeves and a modest neckline, so you can feel confident without needing extra layers.

What to Look For in a Plus-Size Kaftan

Not all kaftans are created equal. When shopping for plus-size kaftans in Australia, consider the following:

• Fabric: Lightweight modal with a silk-like sheen is ideal. It is breathable, soft on the skin and falls beautifully over curves.
• Print placement: Thoughtful print placement can draw the eye down the centre of the body or towards the face, which is flattering on fuller figures.
• Length: Maxi kaftans are especially popular with plus-size customers because they create a smooth line from shoulder to hem.
• Arm coverage: Look for sleeves that cover the upper arm without feeling tight.

Styling Kaftans for Everyday Wear

Kaftans are incredibly versatile for day-to-day dressing. Here are a few ideas:

• Wear your kaftan loose with flat sandals for a relaxed weekend or holiday outfit.
• Add a slip, statement earrings and wedge sandals for lunch with friends.
• Layer over narrow-leg pants or leggings in cooler weather, with ankle boots and a light jacket.

Occasion Ideas for Plus-Size Kaftans

Because they are so comfortable and elegant, kaftans are perfect for events where you will be on your feet for long periods, such as weddings, milestone birthdays and cruises. Many of our customers choose kaftans as outfits for ladies over 50 and 60 who want something more interesting than a basic dress.
