Yellow cactus caftan
"It’s so comfy"










This Manisha dress is historic to Pax Philomena as it is the first print that Jean Marie launched for the collection. Her first piece was called the Manisha tunic. This fabric is indeed one of our most difficult, and labour intensive fabrics to print. It features a micro floral pattern discharge block printed by hand, on a very soft cotton pin tucked voile fabric. This fabric is hand pin tucked before printing, and is still lightweight, however it has extra dimension and body.The vertical striping effect is flattering to all figures.
It took us two years to get this fabric and we are not certain we can get it again, so NOW is the time to grab this Pax Philomena classic!
Length 54"
One size with adjustable drawstring waist.
100% cotton voile
Hand wash cold or use a delicate machine hand wash cycle, with mild detergent, and in a lingerie bag to protect tassels. Hang dry. One separate wash before wearing is recommended
Made in India
This fabric is block printed by hand, creating subtle variations in the pattern. Each piece is a unique work of art worthy of honor and celebration.

"It’s so comfy"
"I was unable to return this item but I would have because it is quite sheer."
"Comfortable and elegant at the same time"
"Have looked at the Nizhoni maxi for at least 2 years and finally purchased recently. It is gorgeous of course but, such a creative combination of colors. Love wearing it and paired with Pax Philomena Native American jewelry it's a showstopper. Can wear year round. Just throw on a pax boiled wool coat or kantha coat! Jean Marie Clarke is a genius when it comes to fashion."
"Love this full length caftan. Beautiful print and soft light cotton. Shipped to Canada at lightening speed."
"Thrilled to add this dress to my Pax Philomena collection. The fabric is unique, feels good to the touch. Wore it out the other day and it reminded me of a kimono. Looked great!"
"Just restocked my Pax Philomena kaftans. My first set of four took 6 years to wear out, and it was time. New prints. Same style and comfort. Chic. Classic. The best!"
"Don’t like the fabric at all. Unforgiving to the body’s curves. Also the picture shows bright blue vibrant material which it is not in reality it’s a dull blue, and looks like something you buy at a tourist street bazaar in Thailand. Would not recommend. The only thing I can say is it’s well done."
"Beautiful! Can’t wait until I can get another!"
"This stunning blue kaftan moves with you in an easy, airy flow. I wore it for over six hours to a warm summer party and was comfortable all day. Definitely recommend."
