Meet Cate: The Ultimate Step-In Travel Dress for Sensitive Bodies
Cate is your go-anywhere, feel-everything dress—blending retro inspiration with modern ease. With a nod to 1970s and ‘80s silhouettes, Cate features a flattering strapless-inspired neckline, wide, flat-laying shoulder straps, and a modest peek-a-boo chest cutout for just the right touch of charm. Whether you're headed to a tropical getaway, navigating a long travel day, or just dressing for comfort at home, Cate delivers support, breathability, and effortless elegance.
Unlike traditional halter or strapless styles that rely on tight elastic or unforgiving seams, Cate is designed with your body in mind. The interior liner is built right in, eliminating the need for bras, shapewear, or layering. No pinching, no zippers, and no skin bunching around the armpits—just smooth, seamless support that works with your body, not against it.
Perfect for Travel, Summer, and Everyday Ease
Cate is a dream for long-haul flights, hot climates, and women seeking breathable fashion that feels as good as it looks. The A-line cut flows away from the body, providing airflow without bulk or cling. Wide shoulder straps relieve pressure from the neck and distribute weight gently. And because it’s made with a soft, sustainable fabric that resists sweat stains and wrinkles, it’s an ideal option for summer days and travel capsules alike.
Whether you're sensitive to fabrics, managing chronic pain, or just looking for an easy, comfortable outfit to wear on the go, Cate fits the bill. The built-in liner features light support and soft removable cups, plus discreet side pockets for essentials. You can step into it in seconds—no pulling, tugging, or fiddling required.
Soft, Sustainable, and Made in Small Batches
Like all Kenzie Kai designs, Cate is made from our signature recycled nylon blend: stretchy, silky-soft, and peach-finished for comfort against the most sensitive skin. It’s lightweight, breathable, and resilient enough to bounce back after being rolled into a carry-on.
We produce all our pieces in small batches in our Atlanta studio—minimizing waste, maximizing quality, and allowing for custom fit adjustments when needed. That means less bulk for your suitcase and your conscience.
Whether you're packing light for a long trip or curating a minimalist wardrobe at home, Cate is the travel-friendly dress you'll reach for again and again. No waistband. No stress. Just soft structure and timeless style—made for movement, made for you.
