The Amina Shirt Dress — Monochrome Brushstroke

One customer told us: "Material feels so nice next to skin and dress looks perfect on, comfortable and easy to wear."

The Amina Dress is cut from soft, structured cotton poplin in a black-and-white brushstroke print.

It has the ease of a shirt dress, but with more presence. The smart collar, button-through front and subtle shoulder pads give it shape, while the gathered skirt and detachable belt make it easy to wear your way.

Wear it belted for more definition, loose for ease, or open as a lightweight layer over trousers or jeans.

Finished with side pockets, full-length sleeves and a below-the-knee length. Comfortable, polished and easy to wear without feeling ordinary.

The cotton has been prewashed for softness and sourced from high-quality deadstock, so once this fabric is gone, it cannot be repeated.

Before You Order

What shape is the dress?

It is lightly tailored through the shoulders, with subtle shoulder pads, and has a full, gathered skirt that falls below the knee. It is roomy through the waist and skirt.

How do I put it on?

There's no zip. It buttons all the way down the front.

What length are the sleeves?

The sleeves are long.

Does the fabric stretch?

No. It is 100% cotton poplin, which has no stretch.

Which size should I choose?

Choose your usual Kemi Telford size. The dress is roomy through the waist and skirt. The chest is the most fitted part, so check your chest measurement: it should be at least an inch smaller than the dress chest in the size guide.

How long is the dress?

It falls below the knee, from 47" in size XS to 49.5" in size XXL. Where it falls depends on your height. Our model Naran is 5'9" and wears size S.
