Notes

Meet the Aisha Drawstring Dress, a signature Kemi Telford silhouette designed to make everyday dressing feel effortless. Made from mid-weight, structured 100% cotton, this dress combines comfort, durability and a beautifully considered shape.

The bodice features hand-sewn pintucks, a time-intensive detail crafted by our skilled machinists, creating crisp pleats across the shoulders and front. The softly gathered drawstring waist allows you to personalise the fit.

Finished with a classic shirt collar, short sleeves with turn-ups, and a layered skirt, the Aisha Dress is easy to elevate or keep relaxed. Wear it with trainers or sandals in summer, and boots when the weather turns cooler.

Before You Order

Will this dress fit true to size?

This dress runs true to size. We recommend picking your usual size, then use the drawstring waist to adjust the fit further.

Does the fabric stretch?

No. This dress is 100% cotton with no stretch, so there's no give to rely on if you're between sizes. Check the garment measurements carefully, as sizing down is the safer choice here.

Can I adjust the fit myself?

Yes, at the waist. The drawstring can be pulled in for a closer fit or loosened for ease. The pintuck bodice itself is fixed and doesn't adjust.

How do I get it on? Is there a zip?

There's no zip. You put it on over your head, then do up the buttons from the collar down to the waist like a shirt, and adjust the drawstring waist to fit.
