What is a kaftan dress? How is it different from a regular kurti?

A kaftan is a long, loose, flowing garment — typically floor-length or mid-calf — with wide sleeves and a very relaxed, non-structured silhouette. Kaftans originated in Middle Eastern and North African dress traditions but have been fully adopted into Indian fashion as a beach/resort, home-wear, and festive garment.
