The term 'Kimono Cousin' refers to two types of traditional garments: the CAFTAN and the ROBE. A CAFTAN is a long, loose-fitting garment with long sleeves and an open front, typically made of cotton or silk. It is usually worn as a dress or a coat. A ROBE is a loose-fitting outer garment that is typically worn over nightclothes or other clothing. It is usually made of lightweight fabric such as cotton or silk and may be decorated with embroidery or other embellishments. Both the CAFTAN and the ROBE are popular items of clothing in many cultures around the world.
