Luxury Kaftan &
Resort Wear FAQs

Expert answers on resort wear, kaftans, sizing, styling, shipping, and what to wear on vacation — for women of every shape.

What is resort wear?

Resort wear is a style of clothing designed for tropical destinations, vacations, or warm-weather escapes. Think flowing kaftans, breezy dresses, dramatic sets, and elegant pieces that transition from day to night.

What is a luxury kaftan?

A luxury kaftan is a long, loose-fitting robe-style garment made from luxury fabrics such as silk or fine georgette, often featuring hand-applied prints and detailed finishing. Unlike a basic cover-up, a luxury kaftan is designed to be a statement piece worn from beach to evening.

What makes Sai Sankoh kaftans different?

Our kaftans are luxury pieces crafted for every body. Designed with one-size silhouettes, bold prints, and luxury fabrics, they radiate cinematic glamour and lasting style.

Are your kaftans really one size?

Yes. Our kaftans are carefully constructed to drape beautifully on bodies beyond a US size 24. You can wear them loose or belt them for a more contoured look.

What is the best resort wear for curvy women?

The best resort wear for curvy women uses fluid, draping fabrics and one-size or generous silhouettes that move with the body rather than constrict it. Sai Sankoh designs are cut to flatter and celebrate fuller figures.

What should women over 40 wear on vacation?

Women over 40 often look and feel their best in refined, comfortable pieces such as kaftans, flowing maxi dresses, and coordinated sets in quality fabrics. These styles offer ease and coverage while still feeling polished and distinctive for dinners, events, and daytime alike.

What should I pack for a tropical vacation?

Pack pieces that are lightweight, bold, and wrinkle-resistant. We recommend at least one kaftan, a two-piece set, a dress that can go from day to dinner, and accessories to elevate each look.

What clothing packs best for Greece, Italy, or the Caribbean?

Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant pieces pack best for destinations like Greece, Italy, and the Caribbean. Flowing kaftans, silk dresses, and matching sets fold small, resist creasing, and can be restyled across multiple days and occasions.

What is the difference between resort wear and vacation wear?

Resort wear generally refers to refined, design-forward pieces intended for upscale warm-weather settings, while vacation wear is a broader term covering any casual travel clothing. Resort wear tends to emphasize quality fabrics, statement design, and versatility from day to evening.

Can I wear Sai Sankoh to a destination wedding?

Absolutely. Our statement kaftans, skirt sets, and gowns are perfect for weddings. You'll look elegant, feel comfortable, and photograph beautifully.

How do I dress up a kaftan for evening wear?

Add bold earrings, heels, and a clutch. Our kaftans make the transition from resort to red carpet easy.

What's the difference between a kaftan and a shirt dress?

A kaftan is more relaxed and free-flowing, while a shirt dress has buttons, structure, and often a collar. Both are rich, but serve slightly different vibes.

Do you offer styles for curvy or plus-size women?

Yes. Every design is made with inclusivity in mind. Our silhouettes are made to flatter and celebrate curves, without compromising on glamour, fitting beyond a US size 24.

Where do you ship from?

All orders ship from our Dallas showroom within 24 to 48 hours (business days). Most U.S. orders arrive in 2 to 5 business days. We ship worldwide; rates show at checkout, and duties are paid on delivery.

What's trending in resort wear right now?

Statement sleeves, bold prints, matching sets, relaxed silhouettes, and versatile pieces that transition easily from day to evening continue to be popular in luxury resort wear.

How should I care for my pieces?

We recommend dry cleaning. Georgette kaftans can also be gently hand washed. Silk pieces: dry clean only. Always check the care label on your piece.

Can I wear a kaftan to a formal event?

Yes. Our kaftans have graced red carpets, galas, and weddings. Just add luxe accessories to elevate the look.

What accessories go best with your pieces?

Gold earrings, bangles, oversized sunglasses, strappy sandals, and a chic clutch. Our pieces love drama.

Are your collections limited edition?

Yes. Most pieces are released in small quantities and are not restocked. We believe luxury should feel rare and exclusive.

Do you offer petite or tall sizing?

Our Goddess Kaftans come in one size, 58 inches long from the top of the shoulder to the hem. Measure 58 inches down from your shoulder to see where it lands. On a petite frame it can touch the floor; add a heel or a belt. See every measurement in our Size Guide.

How wide is a Goddess Kaftan?

62 inches across the chest and 76 inches around the hem. That room is why one size fits US 0-24 and beyond.

Is a georgette kaftan see-through?

It is a little sheer, and how much depends on the print. Wear nude undergarments, or wear it over your swimsuit. Georgette was first made as a swimsuit cover-up. For more coverage as a dress, ask us about our silk viscose and silk crepe prints.

Which matching pants size should I choose?

Our pants come in XS to XXL, sized by your waist. Or choose Drawstring: one size with an adjustable waist that fits up to a US size 24.

How long does shipping take?

We ship within 24 to 48 hours (business days) from Dallas. Most U.S. orders arrive in 2 to 5 business days. Free U.S. standard shipping on orders over $500.
