Full details
The Melissa Odabash Talitha kaftan in black is designed for the adult female seeking an elegant and breezy summer piece. Its key benefit is providing a flattering and sophisticated silhouette with a relaxed feel, thanks to its adjustable self-tie belt and open-front design.

FAQs
What is the best way to wash the Talitha kaftan?
The kaftan should be hand washed cold to preserve the fabric's quality and fit. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
Can I machine dry the kaftan?
No, machine drying is not recommended as it can damage the delicate polyester knit. It should be laid flat to dry.
What is the material of the kaftan?
The kaftan is made from 100% polyester.
How do I achieve the best fit with the belt?
The detachable belt allows you to tie it at your natural waist for a custom fit. You can tie it loosely for a relaxed look or more securely for a defined silhouette.
Is this kaftan suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the 100% polyester and semi-sheer knit design make it very breathable and suitable for hot weather.
What does 'scalloped hem' mean?
A scalloped hem refers to a decorative edge that is shaped with a series of curves, resembling the edge of a scallop shell.
What are the side slits for?
Side slits are openings at the bottom sides of the garment that allow for greater ease of movement and add a stylish detail.
Troubleshooting
Kaftan feels too sheer
Layer over a slip dress, camisole, or opaque leggings for added coverage. Consider wearing a neutral-toned undergarment.
Belt is difficult to tie securely
Ensure the belt is not twisted. Try tying a double knot if a more secure fit is desired. The polyester material can sometimes be slippery.
Fabric lost its drape after washing
Ensure you followed the 'hand wash cold' and 'lay flat to dry' instructions precisely. Machine washing or high heat can alter the fabric's texture.
