Divine Dress

RUNWAY PRE-ORDER | EXPECTED DELIVERY: FEB 2027

A gold silk halter gown with a cowl neckline, a fishtail flare that sweeps into a train, and a single braided string design at the back.

The Divine Dress is built on drape. Cut from gold silk, it falls from a halter neck into a soft cowl at the chest, then follows the body through the waist and hip before flaring at the knee into a fishtail that pools at the floor and trails behind. At the back, the two sides meet and are braided into a single string, a detail that replaces fastening with form and makes the dress as considered from behind as from the front. Handcrafted in Nigeria by Kíléntár’s artisans.

OPACITY: There is no lining. The silk is the only layer. [CONFIRM: sheerness of the gold silk]

STRUCTURE: Cut close through the body. The back is a braided string design, so bear that in mind when choosing what to wear underneath. If you are between sizes, size up.

FABRIC CARE: Dry clean only. Silk marks easily with water and perfume, so avoid contact. Steam gently on the reverse, never iron directly. Store hanging, away from direct sunlight. See the Care tab on this page for full guidance.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Is the Divine Dress true to size?
It’s cut close through the body, so it follows every line. Check your bust, waist and hip against the size guide at kilentar.com/pages/size-chart. If you are between sizes, size up. Contact hello@kilentar.com if you are unsure.

Is the Divine Dress lined or see-through?
There is no lining. The gold silk is the only layer. [CONFIRM: how sheer; recommend underwear guidance]

What can I wear under the Divine Dress?
The back is a braided string design with no fabric across it, so choose your undergarments with that in mind. [PENDING: backless support recommendation]

How long is the train on the Divine Dress?
The gown flares into a fishtail with a train, so consider your heel height when ordering. Contact hello@kilentar.com about a custom hem length. [PENDING: train length in cm]

How long does it take to make the Divine Dress?
Every Kíléntár piece is handcrafted to order. Please allow 3–5 working days to process your order before dispatch. If you have an event deadline, contact us at hello@kilentar.com before ordering to confirm availability.

KÍLÉNTÁR CARE GUIDE

Every Kíléntár piece is handcrafted - woven, dyed, beaded, or stitched by artisans across West Africa - and each material carries its own way of being kept. Cared for properly, these are pieces made to last and to be passed on. Below you'll find care guidance by material. Most of our garments combine two or more: where they do, always follow the gentlest instruction. The care line on each product page states the final word for that piece, and if you're ever unsure, write to us at hello@kilentar.com - we're happy to advise.

Handwoven cotton & silk thread (Faso Dan Fani)
Dry clean recommended. Do not tumble dry. Iron on reverse at low heat only, or steam. Store hanging to preserve the weave's structure.

Raffia (dyed fringe)
Steam only - never iron raffia directly; direct heat damages the dyed fibres. Hang to store and never fold the fringe layers. If fringe arrives compressed from shipping, hang for a few hours and steam gently.

Beadwork (glass, resin & metallic beads)
Dry clean only - do not hand wash. Store flat or hanging without compressing the beaded surface. Dress with care and keep away from sharp jewellery, zips, and bags that can snag threads.

Shells & cowries
Dry clean only. Store hanging on a padded hanger - shell-embellished pieces carry real weight. Avoid crushing under other garments; handle gently when dressing.

Vintage & deadstock lace
Hand wash cold or dry clean - beaded lace is dry clean only and should never touch water. Do not tumble dry. Steam rather than ironing lace directly. Store hanging or flat.

Chiffon
Dry clean. Steam on low to release creases. Store hanging.

Tulle, net & mesh
Dry clean recommended. Steam gently or iron on low heat. Hang to store.

Satin
Dry clean. Steam on low; avoid direct high heat, which marks the surface.

Silk & hand-dyed àdìrẹ
Dry clean only. Steam on low heat. Hand-dyed pieces should never be soaked - dye placements are unique to each garment. Store flat or on padded hangers.

Wool & stove-wool fringe
Dry clean only. Steam gently. Store folded or hanging with room - never compress fringe.

Tassels (cotton & shimmer)
Steam gently if tangled; never iron. Hang so tassels fall freely — do not fold. Finger-comb strands rather than brushing.

Sequins
Dry clean recommended. No iron contact at any heat. Store hanging with space around the garment.

Crepe
Dry clean. Steam on low heat.

Denim (rigid, with aso oke detail)
Dry clean only to protect vintage aso oke pockets. Steam lightly.

Tweed
Dry clean only. Steam on low heat; avoid pressure over boning channels where present.

Plissé (pleated)
Dry clean only - pleats are heat-set and washing relaxes them. Steam very gently; never press pleats or ruffles flat.

Gold hardware, Igba & Adinkra buttons
Keep direct heat away from buttons and plaques. No harsh cleaning products; wipe gently with a soft dry cloth.

Corsetry & boning
Steam gently; avoid pressing directly over boning. Store hanging or flat - never fold across the boned section.
