What is this called ???

Guys I need help trying to find what a certain thing is called…

Lately it has been in fashion … you take a 45 or 60 inch wide material as long as you want… fold it in half …make the neckline and just two straight stitches on the side. I have seen a lot of arab women wear this…it looks lovely and sooo loose …

Can any of you guys tell me what it is called in english…

i think you are talking about PONCHO

or kaftan

Really? The pics you provided seem to be of kaftans, to my eye. Maybe it depends on the length; ponchos tend to be no longer than knee length, whereas kaftans usually reach the floor.

Yeah its pocho

Re: What is this called ???

If the sides are stitched then it is a caftan. Ponchos are completely open.
