Hi Ron, it's good to read you again

I am still here and I am still wearing kaftans/thobes
in fact kaftans are all I wear now

Hi FFA

Great look and the print/weave options are pretty endless too.
There was a member a while back who used to have a fairly spectacular take on kaftans. If my memory serves correctly, his name was Ron.
As a dress, the main advantage of the kaftan is the actual lack of shaping. Perfect for any body shape or gender in my opinion.
Tee shirt dresses are probably the nearest modern western design equivalent. I have a plain grey one which is real good in hot weather which we don't see too often in my part of the world.
Kaftans, I may revisit as they were a fashion item from my youth in the seventies.
Thanks.
Steve.

Today was the first day I wore my kaftan out. We went to the grocery store. I was surprised that I had less odd looks wearing it than with a skirt. I have been letting my hair grow as well.

I don't.wear denim skirts anymore as no-one wears a denim skirts with T shirts. On the other hand there are plenty of women who wear dresses. So I wear dresses instead. I look enough like a woman with my figure and shoulder length hair so I don't stand out.
