The traditional Moroccan neckline features a softly raised collar and an elegant front opening, richly embellished with contrasting red and metallic-gold braided passementerie. A continuous row of traditional decorative fabric-covered buttons and loops extends down the center front toward the hem, emphasizing the elongated silhouette.

The long, gently flared sleeves add graceful movement, while the relaxed body creates an elegant silhouette that falls naturally from the shoulders. The lower portion features decorative side vents, allowing ease of movement while preserving the traditional construction of the Moroccan kaftan.
