You can have a kaftan made just for you. Material cannot be specific, unless you supply it yourself, but you can specify color, pattern type, weight and I'll see what I can find.
Most kaftans are $40, but special requirements, delivery and material type may add to cost.

3) What length (70-120cm)
4) What material View in-stock fabrics
Both can be worn over bathing suit or clothes. The sizes are similar. The cut shape is slightly different which makes them hang differently.
Kaftans: loose, flowing light cover with Arabic- and Bohemian -inspired shape; bottom has variable lengths.
Coverups: more streamlined or straight than the kaftan. Considered slightly more formal; bottom length is fairly even.
Size is based on the width of the material. The large (100cm) is considered the "one-size-fits-all", but it can be a bit large on small people. Generally: wee = size 2 - 6, small = size 8-10, medium = size 12-14, large = size 16-24.
Choose a length based on how far above or below your knee. Sizes are listed in centimetres.
I spent so much time searching for beach and summer clothing that would fit and look flattering that I finally gave up.
I knew what I wanted, but that the only way I was going to get it was to make it myself. So I pulled my sewing machine out, took a refresher on YouTube and started experimenting.
I was so pleased with the results that I kept sewing and coming up with ideas for other types of summerwear. The result is Kaftan Beach summerwear.

Kaftans aren't only for summer. They look great over jeans and a shirt and give that trendy "boho-chic" feel.
