About This Piece

One customer told us: "Love the fit and the print!"

Discover the dress that understands you. Our Drawstring Dress, a celebrated Kemi Telford silhouette, is crafted from a high-quality 100% structured cotton, chosen for its comfort and durability. Each pintuck is hand-sewn, a thoughtful detail requiring hours of dedication.

The drawstring waist gracefully adjusts to you. Dress it up for celebrations, or keep it casual for everyday elegance.

The Amina is a very practical dress to wear. It is made using a mid-weight and structured 100% cotton, pin-tucked into crisp pleats at the bodice and shoulder, with a softly gathered drawstring waist.

Wear it with sneakers, trainers or sandals in the summer, or boots in the colder months.

Before You Order

Will this dress fit true to size?

Yes, this dress fits true to size, so stick to your usual Kemi Telford size. If you're between sizes, choose the size that fits best across the bust and shoulders, then use the drawstring waist to adjust the rest.

Does the fabric stretch?

No. This dress is 100% structured cotton with no stretch, so check the garment measurements if you're unsure between two sizes.

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.

Will it suit me if I am petite?

One petite customer wears XS. She told us: "Size s is too big for me."
