+1 for Tory Burch

Once you've gone to these websites, OP, then go to Poshmark to find one like it, but cheaper.

Do NOT do any old navy. Tuckernuck or go to Nordstrom’s dress section.

I would check out Frances Valentine.

There is another thread about dresses for a beach wedding and there are some great dresses posted. Tbh, I have no idea what a caftan is but hopefully some of those dresses will give you ideas.

Tuckernuck, Tory Burch, Trina Turk...

that's annoying. I would probably just find a flattering beachy dress.

What about the Somerset dress? https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/the-somerset-maxi-dress2?color=066&type=STANDARD&quantity=1
It's more substantial than a true caftan, but also way more forgiving.

hmm, you know what, it looked cuter in person than it dos on the model. I feel like it has a caftan vibe, (even though it's sleeveless) and would work more for something in the daytime.

I was looking at this LOFT dress:

Otherwise - think about Lily Pulitzer - that brand gets a lot of shit on this site but brightly colored caftans could be fun.

NO!!! Nothing about these is island chic. Please don't do these.

Will admit I am not a fashion person. I live in basics every day. We are invited to an island wedding of one of my husbands medical colleagues (his daughter). It is a 3 day affair. Every night calls for "island chic" and in parentheses it says "think tunics and caftans, ladies". i have never owned a caftan and have no idea where to even begin looking.

I have young kids, 2 jobs and literally no free time to scour the earth for these kinds of clothes so will have to rely upon doing it online. Any ideas? I asked another wife and she said an embroidered cotton or silk tunic/caftan (Hampton's vibe) is what most will wear.

Any ideas? Most grateful!
