TCD Retreat Dress - Folklore

Some pieces are made to behave... the Retreat Dress isn’t one of them. Generous, expressive and beautifully free, the Retreat Dress takes its inspiration from the ease of a kaftan, with a wide flowing silhouette that lets you wear it exactly as you feel. Leave it loose and dramatic, or use the clever internal ties to gather, sculpt and completely change the way the fabric falls around your body.

It’s one of those wonderfully creative TCD pieces that invites you to play... big and flowing one day, gathered and shaped the next.

Why You’ll Love It

• Generous kaftan-inspired silhouette

• Clever internal ties let you change the shape and drape

• Wear it loose, gathered, or somewhere beautifully in between

• Adjustable volume and length through the sides

• Easy to layer over your favourite TCD pieces

• One-size design with plenty of freedom to move

• A wonderfully expressive piece made for Taking Up Space

Fit & Sizing

The Retreat Dress is a one-size style designed with an intentionally wide, loose and generous fit.

Three internal ties sit along each side seam, allowing you to gather the dress at different points and adjust the volume, length and drape.

Tie all three for a more sculpted silhouette, use just one or two to create your own shape, or leave them completely undone and let the dress fall beautifully loose.

Styling Notes

This is where the Retreat Dress really comes to life.

Wear it completely loose for all its sweeping, kaftan-like drama, or gather the sides to reveal a little of the layers underneath.

Pair it with your classic TCD Leggings or Resort Wide Leg Pants and let a pop of colour, print or movement peek through the hem. For extra length and maximum drama, layer one of our Petticoat Dresses underneath.

Add boots, chunky jewellery or a favourite scarf... then make it your own.
