KSXTXX presents a tailored knit midi dress that blends classic tailoring codes with crisp contrast trim detailing for a refined, timeless statement. A collarless round neckline is bound in a wide contrast band that frames the throat cleanly and turns down the centre front, tracing an unbroken vertical line from neckline to hem. A long row of domed gold-tone buttons fastens the placket from top to bottom, punctuating the knit with heritage polish. Softly gathered puff shoulders lift the sleeve head into a rounded line, extending into slim set-in long sleeves that follow the arm and finish with deep contrast turn-back cuffs at the wrists. A contrast waistband traces the natural waist across both sides, cinching the bodice optically and dividing the silhouette into balanced proportions. Two welt pockets sit at the hip, their openings piped in matching tipping that echoes the framing above. Worked in a finely ribbed knit with a softly textured surface, the skirt releases from the waist into a gently flared A-line fall, finishing at a contrast-banded hem below the knee with a short centre front slit for ease of movement.

Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.
