tropical print, handmade print
"I am a petite (5'4") busty (38E) plump (US18) middle-aged apple. I am in love with these versatile kaftans! Dress up, run errands, hang at home, does it all. This particular print reads "tropical" to me, like Hawaiiana, which makes me happy. The indigo does bleed (while hemming I could first feel + then see the indigo on my hands), so before wearing I put it in a large mesh lingerie bag and washed it using the 'hand wash' setting, on cold, line dry; it irons very quickly. The cinch under the bust is both flattering (totally hides my no-waist apple) + forgiving. I wear a shortlette with pockets underneath to hold my phone. The maxi length is a hair too long for me to safely (not trip) wear, so I hand-stitch hem mine. Sublime!"
