Dresses
At Kiti we believe a great dress should do more than look beautiful. It should feel effortless to wear, hold its shape across seasons, and earn its place in a wardrobe rather than occupy it temporarily. Our edit of designer dresses spans the full spectrum of contemporary womenswear: the vintage-inspired silk and printed midi dresses of Rixo, the romantic florals and puff-sleeve styles of Damson Madder, the effortlessly Parisian wrap dresses of BA&SH, and the playful prints of Lollys Laundry and Stella Nova. Each piece is chosen because it adds something genuine to the collection rather than filling a gap.
Whether you are dressing for a wedding, a weekend, a party, or nothing more specific than wanting to feel good, this is the edit to start with.
Our Edit of Designer Dresses
The Kiti dress edit is built around a consistent principle: every style should be wearable beyond a single occasion. Midi lengths and wrap silhouettes that take you from lunch to dinner, floral prints that work in summer and layer into autumn, silk-touch fabrications that feel as good as they look. We carry dresses from labels that design with longevity in mind, pieces made to be worn repeatedly rather than discarded after one appearance.
Rixo is the cornerstone of our occasion and floral dress edit. Founded in London and beloved for its vintage-inspired prints and silk fabrications, Rixo produces midi dresses and wrap styles that are among the most consistently returned-to pieces in our customers' wardrobes. For something with more personality and playful detailing, including puff sleeves, oversized collars, and bold prints, Damson Madder is the natural next stop. The London label brings a joyful irreverence to occasion dressing that is hard to find elsewhere at this level.
For dresses with a distinctly Parisian ease, BA&SH is the brand most of our customers reach for. The French label's wrap dresses and midi styles embody the kind of effortless femininity that looks considered without requiring effort. From Scandinavia, both Stella Nova and Lollys Laundry bring vibrant prints and feminine silhouettes with a playful energy that sits naturally alongside the more structured styles in the edit.
Occasion Dresses
Finding the right dress for a wedding, a party, or a special event is one of the most satisfying things we help our customers with in store. The Kiti occasion edit prioritises dresses that feel elevated without being uncomfortable, styles that you can wear all day, move freely in, and still feel genuinely dressed up. Rixo is particularly strong here, with a range of occasion-ready midi and maxi styles in printed silks and flowing fabrications. BA&SH offers a more structured take on occasion dressing, with wrap dresses and tailored midi styles that work for both smart-casual and formal settings.
If you are shopping for a wedding guest dress or an occasion outfit and would like personal guidance, please come and visit us in store on Pontcanna Street in Cardiff. This is exactly the kind of decision our team loves helping with. You can also get in touch online and we will advise you on what is currently available.
Floral Dresses
Florals are a consistent thread through the Kiti dress edit, but not the kind that feel predictable. The floral prints we carry tend toward the vintage and the editorial: Rixo's signature archive-inspired prints, Damson Madder's bold botanical graphics, and the more delicate florals from Stella Nova and Lollys Laundry. These are prints that feel like they have a story behind them rather than having been generated to match a trend cycle.
