Product Overview

Our Aquatica print midi kaftan dress is an Australian-designed kaftan with an ocean-inspired digital print in bold blue, navy, green and teal, reminiscent of tranquil sea waves. Cut in a relaxed one-size fit (approx. AU 10–24) and made from silk-like modal, this kaftan dress drapes softly and keeps you cool from day to night. Ideal as an everyday kaftan dress, a resort kaftan for holidays and cruises, or a formal kaftan dress for special occasions, it’s part of our kaftan dresses Australia collection and is a beautiful option for both regular and plus-size women.

Fabric & Material
  • Made from 100% modal, a fabric derived from natural wood pulp with a beautifully soft, silky feel.
  • Luxuriously soft, breathable and lightweight – ideal for warm-weather resort and cruise wear in Australia.
  • Smooth, non-clingy drape that feels similar to luxury silk kaftans while still being easy-care modal.
  • Opaque fabric that is not see-through, so you can feel comfortable and confidently covered.
  • Printed using high-quality, non-toxic inks for rich, vibrant colour. AZO-free, with no PFAS "forever chemicals" — learn more about our Fabric & Ink Safety →
Design Features
  • Short half sleeves that feel airy and comfortable while giving gentle upper-arm coverage.
  • Flattering V-neck that highlights the décolletage without feeling too low.
  • A wearable midi length (approx. 125 cm), cut shorter than many other kaftan brands to flatter shorter frames. Hem position varies with your height.
  • Versatile kaftan style that moves from casual beach days to a polished formal kaftan dress for evenings, cruises and events.

Side Seam Adjustment

The side seams on this kaftan can be altered to make the fit wider or narrower to your preference, by moving the seam line in or out.

  • To make it wider: unpick the original stitching, then re-stitch closer to the side edge, following the existing stitch line.
  • To make it less wide: stitch a new seam closer in, then unpick and remove the original stitch line.

We recommend having this done by a tailor or experienced sewer for the best finish.

Care Instructions
  • Cool, quick hand wash with mild detergent.
  • Wash separately using liquid soap to protect the print.
  • Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade; do not tumble dry.
  • Warm iron on the reverse if needed.
  • Do not bleach or soak.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 57 reviews.

I bought two kaftans to take away on holidays and didn`t want an overly expensive kaftan . I was really thrilled with the kaftan as it was very pretty and not fussy. I am a size 12 and 170cms tall and it fitted beautifully and looked lovely on. My only negative remark is I felt the front was a little low for my older age. I am still very happy with my purchase.

Kaftan Dress (Heaven)

Beautiful to wear. Love the colour and true to photo. Quick delivery. Will certainly purchase again. So professional and great service.

Kaftan Dress (Reef)

Oh so non-Camilla and fussy beadery. Simple, elegant, flattering and comfortable. Easy to launder and quick to dry. Love it.

Kaftan Dress (Sakura)

I absolutely love this caftan! The vibrant colors are even more stunning in person, and the fabric is soft, lightweight, and breathable, making it perfect for any occasion. It’s flattering and very easy to wear.

Kaftan Dress (Sakura)

Another lovely, lightweight kaftan. I now have 4 Claire Powell kaftans, which are the perfect length on me (full length), as I am 5ft 2ins tall. These kaftans are so cool and comfortable and are my go-to garments on hot days. I feel quite glamorous wearing them in my home.

Kaftan Dress (Aquatica)

I already have three A line button down CP shirts that I enjoy and receive many compliments. One is the ‘reef’ pattern that I love the most, so decided to choose when ordering the kaftan dress. It’s fabulous, fabric is light, soft and cool against the skin, and of course, looks so beautiful on. I’m a 12/14 and the fit is perfect with plenty of room. I really enjoy this brand and can happily recommend.

Kaftan Dress (Reef)

Kaftan Dress (Sakura)

This kaftan was for my mum, for Christmas - she is heading off on a cruise in March. I picked it for its bright colours and when it arrived I hung it outside before wrapping it (it had a bit of a "closed bag smell"). My husband got home and said "wow! I can't wait to see you in that!!!" - very tempted to purchase another one for myself!!! 😂 Mum did wear it on the 40+ day Adelaide just had and said the material was really cool and she looked great in it. The colours are gorgeous and the material is so soft. She loved it, I loved it, my hubby loved it 🤭

I didnt realize the neckline was different to my last kaftan this one was a bit too open across my neckline and slips off my shoulder. My last one was a v and was perfect.

Kaftan Dress (Safari)

Lovely and light,next to skin super soft and it looks fabulous.

Kaftan Dress (Vivid)

The dress is flowy and fits well, however the colors aren't as vibrant as the image shown online. The embellishments around the neckline are printed, not actual beading. I guess I should have read the description more carefully. While I will wear the dress, it's not suitable for the event I bought it for.

Kaftan Dress (heaven)

Store owner replied: Hi Carol, thanks for your review. Unfortunately we don't have any pieces with beadwork. If you would like to return the item we can offer you a full refund.
