About This Piece

One customer told us: "The first time I wore it I got a compliment on the street by a female stranger."

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?

Yes. Take your usual Kemi Telford size, then use the drawstring to adjust the waist. Ava has a 34" chest and wears M.

Does the fabric stretch?

No. It is 100% cotton with no stretch.

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.
