Extra Long Breastfeeding Dera Dress with Zipper — Free Size Baati

This extra long nursing Swahili Dera dress with front zipper is the breastfeeding dress that East African mothers across Europe have been searching for. Known as a Somali Baati, Dirac, Dira, Baati Cusub, or Kenyan Kaftan depending on where you call home — this is the real thing, reimagined specifically for nursing mothers without losing a single drop of its authentic Swahili coastal soul.

The discreet front zip runs along the neckline — open it smoothly and quietly whenever your baby needs feeding, then zip it back up and carry on looking completely put together. No awkward lifting, no exposing yourself, no struggling with complicated layers. Just easy, dignified, discreet breastfeeding access whenever you need it. The extra long length means full coverage and complete comfort from your shoulders all the way down — exactly what a nursing mother needs.

The soft cotton viscose blend fabric is lightweight, breathable, and beautifully gentle against both your skin and your baby's during every feeding.
