Blue midi dresses in navy, electric and light blue

Navy rib for the work week

A navy turtleneck in rib looks as serious as black at work, only softer. The high collar means your scarf can stay home. For a meeting, wear it with a light blazer and loafers. After work, switch to heeled ankle boots and silver earrings, and on Saturday it’s fine with white sneakers.

Prefer an open neck? The navy rib midi with a shallow V goes from the office to dinner with a thin chain tucked into the neckline.

Light blue is the friendlier shade. The round-neck rib midi wants a gray blazer on weekdays and a chunky sweater over the shoulders on weekends. Black next to it looks sharp. Gray, white and cream look calm.

Rib stretches and hugs the hips, and that’s the measurement to check on the size chart. We cut all of these from XS to XL.

Deep blue velvet for dinners and family celebrations

A blue midi dress in velvet looks festive without a single sequin, and deep blue loves silver jewelry. The V-neck velvet midi is right for a daughter’s graduation or a night at the theater, and on a frosty evening you can tuck tall boots under the hem. Sit down and stand up a few times when you try it on. You’ll feel how the velvet moves.

There’s also a blue velvet midi with a boat neck that ends around mid-calf, and with a jacket on top it even works at the office. Pearls look fresher than gold on that shade. If you want a slit, choose the round-neck velvet midi or the one with a stand collar. Heels and sheer tights show the slit off, and a straight black coat goes over everything.

The pleated velvet midi moves with you. Small bag, nothing bulky.

Lurex wraps for a holiday table

Our blue lurex wraps tie with a belt, so you can loosen the waist after the second course. One is a classic blue. The other is a bright electric blue, close to the shades on our royal blue page. Add black pumps, put your hair up, and it’s ready for an evening wedding. To compare other colors at this length, see every dress that falls to mid-calf or our darkest navy shades.

Frequently asked questions

Does a blue midi dress here cover the knees?

Yes, all of them. Low-heeled boots slide right under the hem in winter.

Navy or light blue for a business meeting?

Go with navy and a light blazer. Save light blue for a relaxed Friday.

Is there anything with short sleeves?

A light blue satin midi with flowers and ruffles, but it’s a summer style and comes back with the warm collection. For covered arms all year, look at our long-sleeved midis.

How do I wash the pleated velvet?

Inside out in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle. Hang it by the pleats to dry and use a low steamer instead of an iron.
