About This Piece

One customer told us: "Absolutely love my dress and had many compliments."

Red, cobalt blue and mustard brushstrokes on white cotton, with pintucks across the chest, a drawstring waist and a three-tier skirt that moves as you walk.

The Andrea Drawstring Dress is a softly structured cotton midi dress designed for everyday ease and those moments that call for something a little more considered. Made from premium lightweight 100% cotton, it offers breathability, movement and gentle structure without feeling restrictive.

Designed to move effortlessly between work, weekends and warm-weather occasions, the Andrea Dress features pintuck pleats, a neat collar, and an adjustable drawstring waist that allows you to tailor the fit to your body. The tiered midi skirt creates flow and ease, while short sleeves with turn-ups add a relaxed, finished touch.

Finished with deep, functional pockets, this is a practical yet polished piece you'll reach for again and again.

Before You Order

Will this dress fit true to size?

Yes, this dress fits true to size overall, 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% cotton with no stretch, so there's no extra give if you're between 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.

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.
