Whilst unpacking the boxes, Kate revealed she had discovered a yellow gown and white stilettos which she had worn to a wedding with Liam last August.
The discovery made the singer's grieving girlfriend become emotional as she recalled the special day, and remembered how she had "danced the night away" with Liam.
Choking back the tears, Kate said: "I have just been absolutely dreading opening up these boxes and going through these things because they're just like the things I had in the last couple of months and weeks with Liam.
"So I've really been procrastinating opening these boxes and sorting through these boxes and that's what I've been doing for the past hour, just organising and getting my things together and packing up my stuff.
"And um… [chokes up] I open this box - I'm really trying to pull it together right now - and I found this dress."
Kate continued: "This dress actually brings me so much peace and comfort because the memory that me and Liam had in this dress was a memory I will never forget."
Last month, she shared a gift from her best friend of a photo frame filled with a montage of pics of Kate and Liam.
It had the number '444' written in the middle above the initials LP heart KC.
Kate was holding the present in front of red roses on the mantel piece.

Kate spoke about his death for the first time in an interview with The Sun.
Fighting back tears, she spoke to her followers to thank them for their reaction to the story.
She said: "I'm not the only one grieving right now, I know he impacted so many of you guys and he really did love his fans.
"I just wanted to come on here and say thank you so much for all the kind words once again that have been sent my way because it does not go unnoticed or unseen.
