This is a kaftan dress, and it can also be called a Bubu gown. It's one of my favorite dresses, gifted to me by my old roommate in school. She sewed it herself and sent it to me. Prior to that, I never liked big gowns like this; I used to think that they were meant for pregnant women only, but it's funny how they later became my favorite wear. The comfort it gives me is simply unique. I find myself wearing it more often. It's easy to wear, makes me look elegant, and provides comfort to my body.
A home sewn garment is always good, a more personal touch than buying it from the shop.
