Kaori is perfect for long summer days and even longer summer evenings. This long, flowing dress with raglan sleeves feels wonderfully airy, and has pleats in the sleeves for a subtle puffed effect and gathers at the back and sleeves for a playful touch. The deep neckline at the front features eyelets and a tie for a customisable look with character. The neckline is neatly finished with a facing, and handy pockets are hidden in the side seams. A dress that’s just as happy to accompany you on a walk to the beach as it is to a terrace on a balmy summer evening.

Fabric recommendations:
Kaori looks its best in firmer fabrics that beautifully support its flowing volume, such as stonewashed or paper-touch / nylon-touch poplin, cotton sateen, linen, nylon or taffeta. Avoid fabrics that are too thin or stretchy, as they lack the necessary structure to hold the shape of the dress. If you're looking for a more subtle and supple effect, Kaori also works well in crepe (viscose, polyester or silk), viscose satin or chambray. If you prefer something in between, then seersucker, lyocell or double gauze are ideal options to strike a balance between structure and flow.
