I've always adored the Moroccan takchita for its womanly silhouette; the wide waist belt enclosing a flowing robe evokes instant regality. Princess Salma of Morocco attends a great deal of formal events in the most gorgeous of stately kaftans choosing to wear her traditional garb instead of forsaking it for Western wear as a lot of other Middle Eastern royals tend to. She was named best dressed at the Royal British wedding; all thanks to her choice of elegant kaftan.
Loving them as I do, I have tried to find an online seller that makes Moroccan kaftans that incorporate the essence of tradition alongside feminine modernity. I found the perfect kaftan couture in Sally Kaftan Design.
Salima, a native of Morocco, designs gorgeous traditional and modern kaftans that could take you from a casual evening with friends right through to formal attire. Coming from an artistic, design-enthused family, she creates rich and decadent designs fit for a queen that have graced the pages of many online media outlets.
I love that she infuses Moroccan cultural dress with modern twists. This gorgeous Zircona sleeveless kaftan features traditional Moroccan design aspects with a fresh summery sleeveless update. The fantastic glimmer-gradient fabric make it a big hit for me. It's actually my favourite design of hers.

Not into long dresses? Try a short kaftan like the Stunning Acacia for a resort look worn over white skinny jeans for a glamorous night out.
