Originally developed in early 2025 from a dress Kate personally made for a wedding, the Quilted Dress was patched together and draped on the stand to create an asymmetric, low back and floor length piece. From this experimentation and play with silhouette, it was refined for SS25/26 to create an accessible option that celebrated the flattering cut and unexpected shape of the original.
This dress is cut on the bias with jutting angles creating volume that falls toward the feet in scattered places. Outward facing french seams frame the angular panels of the dress, drawing the eye around each intersection. Fine rouleau straps hang from the shoulders and frame the asymmetric line of the lower back. The Quilted Dress features a straight line across the chest and is secure on the sides, balancing elegance with comfort. Dress is lined with short slip layer in !00% cotton voile.
Made from a smoky grey silk/cotton voile with black and dark red stripes woven through, this dress follows a KATALYST code of showcasing the selvedge of the fabric. In this instance throughout the undulating hemline, peppered in with frayed raw edges
Made in the Katalyst studio in Brisbane/ Magandjin.
