1920s Kitty Dress - Red Confetti
Our asymmetric 1920s obsession continues!
Named after Kitty Laverne, the unforgettable Louise Brooks character from the 1920s film A Social Celebrity, this dress is our little ode to the cool girl femininity of the era. Playful, artistic, elegant and just a touch rebellious.
Kitty' takes her inspiration from the treasures we endlessly swoon over in old fashion books devoted to glamorous summers of the 1920s and early 1930s — see our 1920s Vintage Style Guide for more on the era's defining silhouettes. Easy, fluid and impossibly feminine, she captures that effortless kind of elegance that always feels a little ahead of its time.
The asymmetric, two-tier hem is one of the more playful 1920s silhouettes, uneven panels that fall at different lengths, giving movement and a deliberately undone, artistic quality rather than the smoother handkerchief hem seen on more formal evening-wear of the decade.
One of the most exciting details of this style is her adjustable fabric shoulder ties, allowing you to style the neckline and fit in your own way. Kitty also arrives with two multi purpose sashes, designed to let your imagination run wild… wear them tied on the shoulder as pictured, as a waist belt sash if you want a cinch, headscarf, neck tie / draped choker or even wrapped onto a favourite handbag for that perfectly personal finishing touch.
Our ‘Red Confetti’ print feels like a little explosion of happiness scattered into the summer air. Inspired by an original vintage textile from the era, the design blends playful Art Deco inspired circles with delicate white floral notes drifting throughout, creating something wonderfully busy, romantic and authentic to the late 1920s and early 1930s mood.
Named after Kitty Laverne, the unforgettable Louise Brooks character from the 1920s film A Social Celebrity, this dress is our little ode to the cool girl femininity of the era — read more on how 1920s style still feels relevant today.

Who is Kitty named after?
Kitty is named after Kitty Laverne, the character played by Louise Brooks in the 1920s film A Social Celebrity, chosen for her playful, artistic and slightly rebellious take on flapper-era femininity.
What is an asymmetric hem?
An asymmetric hem falls at uneven lengths around the skirt rather than a level edge, a detail popular in 1920s and early 1930s evening-wear for its sense of movement and informality.
How do I style the shoulder ties and sashes?
The adjustable shoulder ties let you alter overall look of the neckline, while the included sashes can be worn tied at the shoulder, as a waist sash, a headscarf, a draped neck tie, or even wrapped around a handbag.
Do I need to wear a slip with Kitty?
The rayon georgette fabric is very slightly sheer, so a slip is not essential but might be preferred. This version of our Kitty dress does not include one - pair with a plain slip in a complementary tone if required.
Kitty is part of our centenary capsule collection, Under a Paper Moon — created to mark 100 years since 1926. Read the story behind the collection, Can You Wear 1920s Fashion Today?"
