Pink Batty Caftan

Posted on January 11, 2025 by Trystan L. Bass
Pink Batty Caftan

One last project for 2024 — a new caftan to wear in Cancun! I found this pink bat-print cotton and just had to make it up into a retro ’60s caftan. Easy-peasy project and I definitely want to use the pattern again, especially since I already have several caftans in this exact style, both vintage and repro.

At the resort, I wore the caftan with pink and lavender batty flip-flops from Strange Cvlt, a pink macrame purse from Target, flowers in my hair, and a pink batty necklace that was an Xmas gift from a friend.
