About This Piece

One customer summed it up: "Stunning dress. Perfect fit!"

The Tems Shell Print Dress is an intentionally oversized midi dress with a Japanese-inspired shape.

Made from 100% cotton Dutch wax, it has the crispness and structure needed to hold its volume beautifully.

The print gives the dress a bold, graphic feel, while the high frilled neckline, long voluminous sleeves and gathered waist make the shape feel considered, not ordinary.

This is not a fitted dress. It is designed to sit away from the body, giving ease, movement and presence. The soft pleats create gentle shape through the body, while side pockets bring the practical detail Kemi Telford pieces are known for.

Wear it with flat sandals, boots, trainers or simple heels. Size down if you prefer less volume.

Only 50 pieces were made in this print.
