Customer Reviews N by Natori Congo Caftan

I purchased one for myself (XL) and one for my Mom as a gift. The fabric feels wonderful, the length is perfect (5'8") --the hem hits at the ankle. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit like an XL. I expected it to be loose (size 14-16), I'm a 12. In addition, it's very sheer. If you wear it, you must have something under it or everything is exposed. If the cut were a little more generous and the fabric not as sheer, I would order several of these for myself. I love the style, I love the feel of the fabric. Mom lives in a different state. I was going to take hers in a couple of weeks but she too prefers loungewear that is more loose and not as sheer. Unfortunately, I have to send these back. I'm so disappointed.

I use this for a nightgown. It is great as a nightgown--comfortable, soft, washes well. As a caftan, I think it would be a bit too light weight-as in you would need underwear-, but it would do in the summer for that as well. Maybe I should just wear it 24/7.

This caftan is absolutely lovely. Fits true to size. Elegant, but super comfortable. Material is great quality. It’s too bad the material is a little thin, because I would wear it out. But for lounging by the pool or a romantic night at home it’s the perfect piece.

Reinforcing my first review of this gown/lounger in red, I must admit to buying the turquoise for the same reasons-true fit, perfectly comfortable and always in style.

I bought my first Natori brand sleepwear at a local department store and loved it so much that I searched Zappos to find out what else was available in this brand. I initially purchased the Natori knit robe and like it very much; however, I'm not used to belts on bathrobes and wanted something loose and away from the body. The caftan looked perfect but I am returning it since the thinner knit, which I love in the robe, is a bit clingy for a caftan. I wear a size 12/14 and felt the large (14/16) was too small. I'll keep trying though. Never give up.

Nice flow, but not very soft against the body. Too long for a 5'3" woman. Very cheap looking.

All good! Comfortable.

Perfect!

Light and airy, super pretty and flattering for a caftan. Love the dramatic sleeves. Yes, it is giving me Morticia vibes, but it is glamorous and feels so nice on. As other reviewers mentioned, the fabric is thin. But I love it and will be keeping it.

Perfect fit

Incredibly comfortable and stylish! I was also very happy with the way is washed up.

This was a present for my wife and it was a winner. I always cross my fingers when I buy clothing for her and this looked great on her it flowed beautifully. Quite elegant for the price. She loves the feel of the fabric. She liked so much she wanted one in red. Alas, not available. For a guy purchase it was a great success.

Runs very, very small.

Too big

The caftan was huge and like a bag. If it had a belt or something to accentuate the waist this could’ve worked. This could be worn as a dress and is not transparent, thus could be an option for plus sized woman (who just needs a size small).

This was huge and was more of a bag fit. Perhaps this could work with a belt, but not for anyone petite.

The fabric is yummy. But, it's essentially just two big squares of fabric with a head hole. Looked like I'd cut a hole in a sheet and called it a caftan. That said, the fabric really is yummy!
