The Margins Mini Dress showcases the deeper exploration into zero waste pattern cutting explored by KATALYST over the past few seasons. After the success of the Margins Dress in SS25/26, Kate has decided to bring it back with a shorter hemline for AW26.
It was developed from the original bias dress with the desire to create a zero waste dress that flattered the feminine shape and produced a surprising silhouette. Showcasing the familiar high round neckline, back keyhole and bound armholes, where the Margins Mini Dress really gets interesting is below the waist.
The volume cut away to create this sleek bodice falls to the skirt without modification of the shape. The skirt produces a hemline that varies in length and shape that is punctuated by two fine rows of orange stitching along the asymmetric hem.
The resulting floaty volume is perfect to dress up or down. Made from a cozy brushed cotton, showcasing a vibrant plaid pattern of electric blue, orange, and grey, with a fine stripe of olive green. Finished with a keyhole at the back neck and a metal button.
Made from deadstock fabric in Magandjin (Brisbane)
