The Edith Dress really is the perfect occasion dress. A slightly stricter silhouette, yet still just as forgiving thanks to the gently gathered waist giving way to a relaxed skirt. The Nehru collar exudes understated elegance, making it perfect for any number of outings when you want to feel just that little bit dressier.
Now also available in our new IKAT — a truly special, handloomed cloth created using an age-old technique we've been working with our suppliers for a couple of years to perfect and we are thrilled with the results.. The softly blurred edges are a beautiful hallmark of the process, and subtle weaving irregularities are part of the charm — a reminder that each piece is made by hand and completely unique.

"I have bought many of Kate Barton’s clothes now and have always been delighted. Her clothes are flattering, feminine and beautifully made. I don’t usually leave reviews but, having just received my Ikat dress, I wanted to say how thrilled I am. It’s a dress that will carry me through many occasions - both formal and informal. I’m 75 but I think would look equally good on my daughter and daughter in law!"
"Great dress and lovely details but I returned as was not quite the right fabric for me. I would order in the denim if thay was available again and would like the see it in other colours and fabrics - not keen on the red check."
"Very pleased with the dress. Such a change to have a dress that is properly lined, and very well made. Excellent value!"
"I have worn it twice and received so many compliments - honestly one of the best purchases I have made. Can be casual with a pair of Birkenstocks or dressed up for the races!"
"There is a lot of material in this dress for my rather skinny body but I have made it work for me by adding a belt. It may get its first outing this evening! I am hoping it will be useful."
"Treated myself to this frock for my birthday and really enjoyed wearing it. Particularly the lining and the sleeve length. A very good bridge between Spring and Summer apparel."
"Beautifully made and lovely light material which will be good for summer, I’m between 12 and 14 and the think the size 12 will fit me better than the 14"
"Comfy , classy and quality."
"Adore this dress, and the red lining. Very well made and so very smart with the double breasted buttons down the front… and pockets! Thank you!"
"Partner loves it!! You can really feel the quality. Will buy more from KB definitely!!"
