The Orange Melba Kaftan. Drama in warm orange. The Orange Melba Kaftan is pure occasion — a vivid orange piece finished with feather detailing that moves as you do, made for the woman who wants her arrival to feel like an event. Worn by Bozoma Saint John and Melba Wilson.
Cut to make an entrance, the Orange Melba drapes long and graceful with feather trim that catches the light and the eye. It belongs at galas, evening weddings, milestone birthdays and celebrations that deserve something unforgettable.
Feather detailing turns a beautiful piece into a memorable one, and the Orange Melba spends it generously. The trim moves with you under evening light, adding motion and drama, while the warm orange reads rich against the skin. Worn by women known for commanding a room, it is the piece for the night you want to be the one people talk about afterward.
As seen on Bozoma Saint John and Melba Wilson.
Style it to let the feathers and color lead: fine drop earrings, a sleek heel, a hard clutch and a polished finish. With a piece this dramatic, keep everything else quiet and let the Orange Melba command the room.
Feathers are the finish that turns heads, and the Orange Melba uses them to full effect — motion, drama and warmth in one piece.

Worn by women known for owning a room, it carries that same presence to anyone who puts it on.

This coat turns heads everywhere it goes. Every single time I wear it, somebody asks me about it. The quality is incredible and it makes such a statement. It is one of those pieces that instantly makes you feel fabulous the second you put it on.
This dress was beautiful from the moment I opened the package. The colors were stunning and the fit was wonderful. I felt confident, comfortable, and completely put together. And just like every other Sai shirt dress I own, the compliments started almost immediately.
I wore these pants and matching shirt dress on my South American cruise. These pants were comfortable, flattering, and easy to style. I looked as food as I felt!
The colors on this dress are absolutely gorgeous. I remember putting it on and immediately feeling beautiful. One thing I love about Sai Sankoh is that the colors are always just as vibrant in person as they are online. Every time I wore this dress, I received compliments.
Perhaps one of my ALLLLLL time favorite Sai Sankoh pieces!! When I first saw this jacket, I knew i had to have it. Elegant. Chic. Sublime. C'est magnifique! ***chef's kiss***
Sai's Sicily Print is one of my absolute favorites! The colors are just as vibrant in person as they appear online. I love it so much I have four of her pieces in this print in my collection!

I love pieces that are comfortable and still make you feel put together, and these pants did exactly that. They moved beautifully and fit my body in a way that made me feel confident. As someone who is very curvy and voluptuous, I appreciate when clothing is designed for real women. Thank you Sai for always creating pieces that make me feel beautiful.
This was one of my very first Sai Sankoh pieces, and I still remember how beautiful I felt when I put it on. The colors were gorgeous, the fit was amazing, and it just made me feel good. One thing I have learned over the years is that Sai knows a woman's body. As a curvy woman, that means everything. Every time I wear a Sai Sankoh shirt dress, somebody asks me where I got it. This piece is what started my collection.

Understanding the measurements
1
Length is what matters
Use length to choose between styles — Melba (57”), Mini (23.5” front), Marlo (59.5”). The kaftan will fit.
2
Chest & shoulder are garment dims
Do not compare to your body measurements. The kaftan is intentionally oversized.
