Grey and turquoise green: a combination rarely seen on a kaftan, and that is precisely what makes Balquis stand out. The base is a grey duchesse satin kaftan—a dense, silky fabric with a subdued sheen—overlaid with turquoise green embroidered lace with emerald reflections. The contrast is crisp without being loud: the grey calms, while the turquoise brightens.
Duchesse satin, the backbone of this kaftan
This is the fabric that creates the drape: heavy enough to hold its shape, duchesse satin forms a fluid, majestic line that follows the silhouette without clinging. The long sleeves and structured cut provide definition; the belt adorned with a refined appliqué defines the waist and balances the overall look.
Wedding, engagement, or oriental evening: grey works with accessories in every direction—silver jewelry to stay within cool tones, or a touch of gold for warmth. The turquoise lace naturally points toward emerald accents.

FAQ
Isn't grey too understated for a wedding?
No—the turquoise lace is what makes the statement. The grey serves as a backdrop and stands out precisely in a room dominated by vivid colors.
Which jewelry works with this kaftan?
Silver or diamond jewelry is the first choice; an emerald set complements the lace. Avoid combining too many colors—the piece already has its contrast.
Does the cut suit all body types?
The fluid cut and adjustable belt adapt well. Sizes 36 to 44 are available as standard, with made-to-measure sizing beyond that or for a perfect drape.
How should duchesse satin be cared for?
Dry clean only; use a wide hanger and a garment bag to preserve the drape and lace.
