Black dresses with sleeves, short to wrist-length
Sleeve length is the first thing to settle with a black sleeve dress, since it can end at the wrist, just past the elbow or high on the arm for July. We sew all three, and a few styles have a single sleeve. Most of the long ones are cold-season rib knit and velvet.
To the wrist, in rib, jersey and velvet
This is the biggest group. A black long sleeve dress in our dense Mustang rib comes as a mini where a little keyhole opens on the chest, or with a zip and a stand collar you can open as far as you like. We also make a jersey mini whose skirt carries a double row of ruffles, and you choose its length, 80, 88 or 92–94 cm, to match your height and shoes.
Need one for the office? The V-neck mini has shoulder pads and a pleated skirt, and it looks as put-together as a blazer. For evenings we’d move to velvet. One midi has a flared skirt that sways when you walk, which is lovely at the theater. Another is a wrap mini, 87 cm from the shoulder. Then there’s lurex for the party itself.
Three-quarter sleeves and the one-sleeve cut
With a three-quarter sleeve, the wrist is left bare. On our velvet midi with bare shoulders and draping, that’s exactly where a thin bracelet or a watch goes. The sheath midi has the same sleeve with a round neck, and we class it as all-season. It’s a quiet dress. Add a blazer for a meeting and take it off for the restaurant.
Want asymmetry? Our velvet mini has a full sleeve on one side and nothing but shoulder on the other, so it hardly needs jewelry.
Short sleeves, back with the warm weather
Short sleeves here mostly mean prints on black. Think white polka dots or small flowers, on wrap midis and knee-length cuts for a summer office. One wrap midi with blue flowers is handy at work because any creases you collect by evening get lost in the print. They belong to our summer line, so we list them again when warm days are back. There’s one cold-weather exception, a pleated midi in marbled velvet with a short sleeve.
Frequently asked questions
Which ones can I wear all year?
A few, and we label them all-season. They’re the sheath midi, a fitted mini in cotton knit with 5% elastane, and a knee-length dress with bare shoulders and long sleeves.
I’d like bare shoulders but warm arms. Do you have that?
We do, in a velvet maxi and a lurex midi. See them among the off-shoulder black styles with long sleeves.
How long is the longest black sleeve dress?
Floor length. It’s velvet with a boat neck and a slit at the leg, and you’ll find it with our black velvet.
What if I only want long sleeves, or no filter at all?
For the first, open long sleeves in black. For the second, the full black collection has every cut, in XS to XL.
