Wow my lovely parcel arrived today! Dress fits perfect:) Amazing, as always. I already have several of these dresses and I'm sure I'll order another, they are great. It’s a more than perfect dress. The handcraft, the fabric. Each one, whether medium weight linen or heavier weight, is unique, in terms of material, workmanship, and color—I choose a different color each time.
Great communication regarding the order, Egle took every request into consideration:) Thank you so much ♥️ Izabela

EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING I BUY FROM KNOCK KNOCK IS A MASTERPIECE
The latest tailoring update on the work dress is magical – the shoulders fit like a dream, and the overall silhouette is the same classic, beautiful, practical grand slam as it ever was. Big thanks from Ohio!

I ordered the WORK midi dress in a slightly longer length in Shadow medium-weight linen. It works out as a maxi dress on my 1,55m and I love it! The design is simple but flattering and the colour is gorgeous (not as dark as in the photo sample): somewhere between brown and grey with a slight lilac tinge, very hard to describe! Size L is comfortable for my body shape (EU40-FR42) without being baggy, perfect advice from Egle once again. My linen addiction just keeps growing, thank you for making such beautiful clothes 🙂
