The Ayodele Drawstring Dress is a celebrated Kemi Telford silhouette — designed to move with you, adapt to you, and work hard in your wardrobe.

Cut from 100% organic cotton, this dress is breathable, comfortable, and quietly structured, making it easy to wear across seasons. The fabric is chosen for durability and softness, allowing the dress to hold its shape while remaining comfortable all day.

At the bodice, hand-sewn pintuck pleats create subtle structure and detail — each one taking time and care, stitched by skilled machinists. A softly gathered drawstring waist allows you to adjust the fit to suit your body and your day, whether you want definition or ease.

Finished with a classic shirt collar, button-through front, short sleeves with turn-ups, and a layered skirt, the Ayodele is as practical as it is thoughtful. Wear it with trainers or sandals in warmer months, or boots when the weather turns cooler.
