Evaki dress - perfect!
Lovely dress, light and flowy with lots of stretch. It's a lightweight jersey that is great in hot weather - I took it to wear at a festival. It packed well, didn't crease and has washed well too on my return. The sizing is great, I went for my usual size with advice from Kate and Marjorie and it is flattering on a larger figure! I love the hemline and the pockets xxx

Necessary Evil Evaki Hi - Lo dress
I ordered this dress because I liked the hem line, and it looked like a comfy garment that would be ideal for any occasion. I was delighted when it arrived and felt how soft and flowy the fabric was. I am now looking forward to wearing it for the first time this week. I love this dress.

Fabulous dress
So comfortable and flattering.
Soft beautifully draping fabric.
I think this dress is going to be very versatile, on it's own in the hot weather, great for layering in the colder months.
I like it so much that I've ordered a second one.

Love this long cardigan
In love with this witchy feeling long length cardigan. Love the style of the hood x
I love the sleeves on this top and couldn't resist it! The quality was excellent (as always) , delivery really quick and size was perfect - I've never had any problems with the clothes I have ordered from Kate's Clothing
My husband bought me this for my birthday. I was a little unsure as it is a much lighter shade than I normally wear, but it looks absolutely fabulous with a black lip liner. It is now one of my favourite daytime lipsticks.
This was kindly added to my order as a bonus.
I absolutely love Katie's clothing and have been a customer for a long time. With such good items and top class customer service I intend to be a customer for a long while to come.
This skirt is gorgeous! It is a bit long but nothing i cant alter myself, the sizing is good too but as I've lost some weight I bought a size too big again nothing i can alter myself. I would recommend this skirt, the detailing is gorgeous and the velvet fabric is so soft! I cant wait to style this skirt 🖤🖤
