Why Do People Think Kaftan Wedding Dresses is a Good Idea?

Kaftan (also known as Caftan) is a Persian word and happens to have originated from Mesopotamia, which is now known as Iraq in modern day. Although, worn and admired by a number of cultures over a thousand years, it was more conspicuous in North Africa and Middle East Asiatic region. Over years it has become a style statement as a loose fitting long suit, apart from being a symbol of Bohemian lifestyle. It is often worn as a coat or as an over dress too. In some cultures, it is also referred as a symbol of royalty. More recently, the kaftan introduced to the west in the late eighteenth century was contrary to the tight- fitting dress, though it slowly gained popularity, for its exoticism and as a form of loose-fitting clothing.

In the mid 19^th century, fashion designers often drew inspiration from ethnic styles, including kaftans. Street styles were appropriated by fashion designers, who marketed lavish, Moroccan-style kaftans as hostess gowns for casual at-home entertaining. Renowned fashion designers like Diana Vreeland, Babe Paley, and Barbara Hutton all helped popularize the wedding kaftan in mainstream western fashion.
