Cool and versatile dress
"Really pleased with this dress - elegant and understated, it covers well while remaining cool. The chambray fabric looks great and is light and comfortable to wear. Easy to dress up or down too."





Our hero piece - the Easy Summer Dress returns in a beautiful range of fabrics.
Designed to flatter all body shapes and sizes, it’s the ultimate in effortless comfort and style. We especially love it in chambray linen — light and airy, with a unique cross-weave construction that creates a tight, strong foundation for long-term durability without compromising on comfort. Over time, chambray becomes even softer while holding its shape.
Also available our hard-wearing denim and new cotton Ikat.

"Really pleased with this dress - elegant and understated, it covers well while remaining cool. The chambray fabric looks great and is light and comfortable to wear. Easy to dress up or down too."
"The Easy Dress is a style that suits me and feels like a second skin, so each time it’s produced in a different fabric I feel I ‘must’ buy one! This latest pale grey chambray is so light and pretty. I’m sure it will be a go-to item in my wardrobe this summer. I should also add that, most unusually, there was a fault in the dress and I reported it to Kate Barton. The firm could not have been more helpful replacing the dress immediately. It’s so good to come across such excellent customer service. Top marks all round."
"Once again a winner for Kate. I love this dress. No doubt I will be back for more. Fits well and glad I can go down a size."
"A dress suitable to wear anywhere. I am 5’3” and bought the short length, which is perfect at mid calf. As the material is linen it is prone to crease but that is the nature of the material. It is comfortable to wear and I am pleased with my purchase."
"Absolutely Super, comfortable, smart, lovely practical colour, love the style, well-made. I love all my Kate Barton dresses - I have many!"
