Description

A signature Kemi Telford silhouette, the Akure Drawstring Dress is cut from lightweight 100% Dutch wax cotton — soft, breathable, and full of character. The hand-sewn pintucks across the bodice and shoulders add quiet detail, while the adjustable drawstring waist creates a flattering, comfortable fit.

Designed with an Italian collar, statement sleeves finished with elasticated cuffs, and a tiered skirt that moves beautifully, it’s the perfect balance of ease and structure. Complete with side pockets for everyday practicality.

Style it with trainers or sandals in warmer months, or layer with boots when the weather cools. Effortless, versatile, and made to be worn year-round.
