Some dresses simply hang in the wardrobe, waiting for the right event.
Others are events all by themselves.
The Dakota Dress by Kate & Pippa is one of those dresses. Brand new this season and already proving to be one of our most-loved styles, Dakota is the definition of statement elegance — with its dramatic bow-back design, feather-trimmed sleeves, and flattering shift silhouette.
This season, we’re launching Dakota in three colours: timeless Black, bold Red, and playful Purple — so you can choose the mood that matches your moment.
Â

Feather-Trim Sleeves: Catch the light with every movement, adding glamour and fun.
