The Ikat Easy Summer Dress
Key Points
Product Description
We’re very excited to introduce one of our hero pieces in a brand-new fabric for us: IKAT — a truly special, handloomed cloth created in collaboration with local artisans in India using an age-old technique where the yarn is tie-dyed before weaving, so the pattern is built into the fabric itself. The softly blurred edges are a beautiful hallmark of the process and the subtle weaving irregularities are part of the charm — a reminder that each piece is made by hand and completely unique. We've been working on this for a couple of years to perfect and we are thrilled with the results.
Also available in our hard-wearing denim.

Very happy with this dress
"Very happy with this dress it’s easy and comfortable to wear yet it looks smart"
Brilliant!
"A beautiful dress, came well wrapped and is a perfect size for me. The 12 is just right and sometimes I’m a 12/14 with other company’s but this great, not scrimping on fabric. The red lining is extra lovely. My first purchase with KB but would definitely order again."
Love this dress!
"The short length is perfect for my 5ft 3inch height. Finishes at mid calf. Fabric design is versatile for both smart wear and more informal occasions. I shall certainly buy again from Kate Barton. S Gilbey"
Another beautiful dress! ❤️
"I Love The Easy dresses and have several now in different fabrics. But my latest purchase of the Ikat dress is my favourite! I particularly like the fact that it is lined in red! So attractive and unusual and the blue ikat fabric is so soft and drapes beautifully. Another Kate Barton winner!"
Useful style
"This style of dress fits me and allows me to wear a dress rather than jeggins. I have all in this style sold by KB!"
Stunning Ikat Dress
"Love this new fabric in the Easy Dress style. What makes Kate Barton’s clothes stand out, is the beautiful finish. Lovely piping and lining in a contrast colour,s all in good quality fabric."
