Caftans or Kaftans?

I don't know which way to spell this word, and some just call them jilbabs or galabiya but the best source for long, simple cotton dresses that I've seen is www.aljilbab.com and the prices are great starting at about $20 and TONS of colors and patterns to choose from. If you haven't visited this site in awhile you'll notice that they now sell TUNICS too, starting at only $12! They are located in Egypt but do ship internationally at low rates. I think that most of these dresses are best worn indoors as they're made of light cotton and remind me of nightgowns, however I think some of them would look fine worn outdoors as well!

  1. Salaam,

    Both spellings ('kaftan' and 'caftan') are acceptable, but the 'k' beginning seems to be more common.
