Midi black dresses that work from Monday to Saturday

Sleeveless rib over a white turtleneck

Start with the simplest one. Our rib tank midi has no sleeves and a round neck, and in fall it’s made for layers. A thin white turtleneck or a white shirt goes under it, a straight blazer on top, and that’s an office outfit. Weekends, a denim jacket and sneakers. Once it’s cold, a long cardigan and lace-up boots.

The second sleeveless rib style is tighter. Take the turtleneck off at night. Heels, big earrings, done.

Rib shows every line underneath, so go seamless. Dry it flat.

Three-quarter sleeves, full sleeves and a stand collar

Our black sheath midi has three-quarter sleeves and a round neck, and it isn’t tied to any season. A jacket and low pumps for a business meeting, then lose the jacket later. With the sleeve that short, a watch shows right away.

In January you’ll want sleeves to the wrist. A stand-collar rib midi comes with a leg slit and goes from quiet in the daytime to a little bolder at night with thin heels or ankle boots. A midi black dress in velvet with a turtleneck is warmer still, as cozy under a coat as any sweater, and there’s a velvet V-neck version for New Year’s dinner with your parents. More of those live among our midis with long sleeves.

Dots and tiny flowers for warm days

Our lightest midi black dress is a sundress with tie straps and a small floral print. The skirt flares from the waist and covers your knees. White sneakers and a tote.

A white polka dot wrap with short sleeves goes to a meeting with pumps. Another one ends in a flounce and looks cute with a red bag. With blue flowers, the print hides little creases after a long day at the desk. These are summer styles that come back to the catalog in March, and if you’d like other shades, there are midi lengths in every color and the rest of our black range.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear the sleeveless rib midi to work?

Yes, with a turtleneck or a shirt under it and a blazer on top.

What shoes go under a hem this long?

In winter, boots that disappear under the hem. Heels at night. With the sundress, plain sneakers or sandals.

How snug is the rib?

Pretty snug. It follows your waist and hips. We make it from XS to XL, so check your bust and hips against the size table before you choose.

And how do I wash the velvet ones?

Turn them inside out and use the delicate cycle with water no hotter than 30 °C. Skip the wringing. If it creases on the way to dinner, steam it from the wrong side.
