You've asked for longer skirts and maxi dresses, and I'm happy to finally deliver this for you! The KELLYE dress is named after my friend Kellye who gives the best hugs, always lets me rub her head when it's freshly buzzcut, has the best facial expressions of anyone you could ever meet, and love to buy me cans of Squirt. I've got a video over here introducing both the KELLYE dress and the Kellye human in NZSL.
Design
The KELLYE has what are known as 'kimono sleeves' which you would think meant they were long and drapey like an actual kimono, but somehow actually means that they're cut in the same piece of fabric as the bodice. It has a pretty modest scoop neckline, and very excellent pleats in both the front and back at the high waist to give you excellent butt. The long ties can be used to control if you want the dress a little tighter or looser, and can be tied at the front or the back. These dresses are all from woven cotton, which is to say they don't stretch. There's 3.6 metres of fabric in every dress.
Tall babes: this dress was cut to reach my ankles, and I'm six feet tall. Finally a maxi dress that doesn't hit at the completely wrong place on your calves.
Short babes: this dress will be very easy to alter to your ideal length, and will look great on you too.
Fabric
This Special Bananas KELLYE is made from a cute printed 100% cotton covered in illustrated bananas and the word "Special" on a rich teal background. It has a subtle brushed finish and is fully opaque. Why are the bananas special? I don't know but you bet I am looking forward to writing banana jokes on your order form when you buy it!
Sizing
KELLYE is cut generously. Please check your measurements against a similar non-stretch item of clothing that fits you well, and get in touch if you have any questions. Unfortunately due to extremely limited stock we are not able to offer returns.
