I broke down and purchased three of these caftans because I am looking at super hot weather, being around many children and wanting to look comfortable and chic at the end of long hot days that often turn into nights of me getting up 50 times to check on or care for those same children. I never thought being comfortable and chic and caftan would all be in the same sentence, but caftans have gotten a really bad rap. These are sized very large. I am a 16/14 with some postpartum pudge that I am losing and am 5 foot 8 inches. These cover you in a dignified way (I would highly suggest a bra, for everyone's sake, if you are wearing this around other people and are over 23) and are down right billowy. The patterns are superb (I ordered 3 different ones, the floating mandala, the blue with green and the black) and the fabric has washed really well and held up to multiple stain causing agents without one stain. These are really comfortable without being dowdy and you are modest and modern all at the same time. I had an event where these would be very useful as nightgowns and I contacted the seller right away and asked if they could possibly ship them as  soon as possible. They did and it arrived very quickly.
