Fit Notes
    Notes

    The Jola Drawstring Dress is one of our signature Kemi Telford shapes, made from 100% cotton Dutch wax with structure, colour and movement.

    The bodice is finished with hand-sewn pintucks, a detail that takes time and gives the dress its beautiful texture. The mandarin collar, button neckline, flared sleeves and tiered skirt make it feel considered without being difficult to wear.

    Wear it with sandals or trainers in warmer weather, then with boots when the season changes.

    Finished with side pockets and made in limited numbers.

    Before You Order

    Will this dress fit true to size?

    This dress runs large across the chest and body. It doesn't come in an XS, and our smallest size (S) already measures a generous 38" chest. We recommend sizing down from your usual size, then use the drawstring waist to adjust the fit further.

    Does the fabric stretch?

    No. This dress is 100% cotton with no stretch, so there's no give to rely on if you're between sizes. Check the garment measurements carefully, as sizing down is the safer choice here.

    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. This is a pull-on style: it goes on over your head, fastens with buttons at the neckline, then adjust the drawstring waist to fit.
