The Suvi Caftan can be sewn as a casual, knee length dress, or as a more bohemian style maxi dress. Both styles feature a flattering deep V-neck and are gathered at the waist with a cord. The maxi length dress features gathered shoulders and another cord at the waist to add even more elegance to the design. Depending on the fabric choice, the Suvi can be worn as a dressy evening gown, or as a simple everyday dress or beach cover up.
