Sleeve cocktail dress or cocktail sleeve dress

A sleeve cocktail dress lets you skip the wrap you’d otherwise clutch all evening. Here you’ll find velvet, lurex, satin and rib knit with long, short, three-quarter or single sleeves. In Britain the same thing often goes by cocktail sleeve dress.

How long should the sleeve be for your party?

For a December office party or a birthday dinner in a cold restaurant, go long. Our chocolate velvet wrap mini is cut from stretchy velvet, it hugs the body, and soft gathers near the waistline cover the stomach. The sleeves carry soft folds. Gold earrings suit the brown, and the deep V means you won’t need a necklace.

Three-quarter sleeves are the middle ground. They leave the wrist free for a watch or a bracelet. We make a red velvet style with dropped shoulders in this length, ending at the knee or a touch below, with a small slit so you can move. A powder pink velvet midi comes pleated, and the folds sway with every step.

Most short-sleeve styles here are summer florals and wraps, and they return to the site once it warms up. Summer has long sleeves too. A white polka dot mini comes with bold full sleeves that shield your arms from the sun at an outdoor party.

Velvet, lurex or rib knit after dark

Velvet is the backbone of this page. It’s dense, it keeps you warm, and black, emerald, red and white all look rich under restaurant lights. Need a little shine instead? Our royal blue lurex midi wraps at the front and ties with a belt, so you can set the fit at the waist yourself.

Rib knit is the quiet option. A black turtleneck midi with a leg slit fits close through the waist and hips, and it goes from the office to drinks with a change of shoes. Ankle boots with a heel do the job.

Each sleeve cocktail dress here is sewn by us in Ukraine in XS to XL. Fitted cuts don’t hide a wrong size. Check bust and hip against the size chart before you order.
