Amina Benmoussa:

The tradition with the glares:

Between judiciously diverted traditional line and sets of matters added such as feathers, spangles, Amina Benmoussa creates an extremely ludic effect chatoyant where the colors spout out de.toutes.parts. Silky texture, plays of tulle and discrete embroideries, Caftan d' Amina Benmoussa draws its inspiration in a vivifying pallet and nevertheless decorated of a beautiful whole of traditional lines. For his first participation in Caftan, the designer, initially graduate of the Boulle School, affixes a signature removed and blazing.

Albert Oiknine :

dazzling spirit haute couture!

Sumptuous set of volumes and details embroidered for the collection of the designer High-Seam who, this year still, inflects the caftan towards a mixing between evening dress and traditional clothing, thus marking his recognizable signature between thousand.

As far as i know , there are tailors at The palaces who make Caftan for the princesses , it's like a factory ,they're working every day to fix all the dresses , it's a full time job for them , also there is a specific Cut and Seam (Couture) The name is MAKHZANIA, wich means in Moroccan everything related to the royal family, Power
as u can see in those pictures , the specific tissues and the seams around the neck ( GOLD OR SILVER ) is what it called Caftan Makhzani :)

ahh...those are definately pakistani inspired, the kurtis and the very popular chunri cloth. They make everything out of it in the west, even skirts, which is so odd to me.

this looks like the caftans Queen Noor wears

But the cloth is chunri, something that's worn in Pakistan and India, nothing to do with the middle east. Still, fashion's all about fusion.
