Belted Maxi Shirt Dress / "Kumulau”

A true statement piece and a new hero silhouette for JRF. The Kumulau Dress is designed to deliver presence: a structured shirt-bodice, a cinched waist, and a full sweeping skirt that moves with quiet drama. Cut from pure silk with a subtle sheen, it feels as good as it looks; light, fluid and flattering from every angle.

The hand-painted Kumulau print is placed to elongate the body and frame the skirt, creating a bold, contemporary take on classic occasionwear. The wide sash belt can be worn multiple ways and sculpts the waist without feeling restrictive, while hidden side pockets keep the whole look grounded and easy.

This is the dress you reach for when you want impact with zero effort; weddings, garden parties, elevated dinners, or simply the days you want to feel unforgettable.
