    What a dress. It is made so perfectly, so well, that the way it sits on your body is incredibly flattering, without compromising comfort in the slightest (the comfiest garment I own). The material is quality that you cannot buy else where because clothes are not longer made with good fabric, I was well impressed when I received it. This dress is super versatile, I have dressed it up and worn it on my normal day outings. I have a very special relationship with colour in many ways, and this piece of KT is like the energy I summon to make the very best of my existence daily put into fabric. It is happiness and depth, it is beauty and rarity, energy and grounded peace... all at the same time. KT has to be the best brand I have discovered in the last decade. As a white-Mediterranean woman I worried the African community would feel offended by me wearing their invaluable heritage and essence, I worried about cultural appropriation. I am glad for all the conversations I have had on that topic with the community around me, it made KT an option for me. And now I cannot imagine my life without it. I literally could not list all of the compliments, questions, interactions I get all-the-time, anywhere and everywhere about this dress. By everyone. KT: thank you for following your dream, and thank you for sharing it with the world.

    Stunning!

    This dress is stunning. I love the colours, the pin tuck detail on the chest is beautiful and the drawstring waist means you can adjust to fit. I have a chest size of about 41/42 inches and usually take about size UK 14. I tried L & XL and found the size large the best fit for me.

    Gorgeous dress

    Absolutely gorgeous in person. The colors are even more vibrant, in the best way possible. And it's beautifully made. I got so many compliments on it the day I wore it for the first time! This will be a favorite for years to come.
