Fall dress and autumn dress styles, knit and velvet

A fall dress has to handle a damp walk to work and an overheated office on the same day. Most of ours are rib knit, angora-blend knit, jersey or velvet, and almost every one has long sleeves. In London you’d be shopping for an autumn dress, and it’s the same thing.

Tell us the length in centimeters

Our zip-front black mini in rib, with a stand collar, can be ordered at 80 cm, at 88 cm or at 93–94 cm. Petite? Take the short one. If you’d like your knees covered, go long.

Just add your centimeters as a note with the order, or let the manager know. We sew everything ourselves, so cutting a different hem is ordinary work for us.

The black jersey mini with two rows of ruffles works the same way, at 80, 88 or 92–94 cm. With over-the-knee boots the shortest version looks best. For the office, the longer one.

That zip mini is thick mustang rib, and it really holds the warmth. Your neck stays under the collar, and with the zip you decide how low the front goes. Silver jewelry looks good on black rib.

Chocolate velvet for an evening that starts at your desk

Brown velvet is a nice change from black once the evenings get dark early. On our chocolate velvet mini the arms and shoulders stay hidden while the legs are out, which is a handy balance when you go from a meeting straight to a restaurant. Soft folds run across it between waist and hip, and under warm lights the pile picks up a copper sheen.

Mocha boots, a beige coat, a caramel leather bag. Small gold hoops. Black tights make the whole outfit stricter, while nude ones keep it light.

Prefer a V? The chocolate wrap mini is cut from stretch velvet with drape at the waist, and gold suits it too, along with cappuccino suede boots.

Gray mornings in rib and angora

Some days you want a fall dress that asks nothing of you. The black keyhole mini in a cotton knit that’s 95 % cotton with 5 % elastane is that dress for us, and it’s an all-season style you can wear with a trench and boots now and with sneakers next July.

Softer still is the gray-blue angora-blend mini. Stand collar, long sleeves, and it feels like a thin sweater that doesn’t itch. Skip the turtleneck underneath. Wear it to work with a long gray blazer and thick tights. For a party, heeled ankle boots and silver earrings.

For the coziest knits, browse dresses with a sweater feel. When real frost arrives, move on to warmer winter styles, or see all our long-sleeved cuts in one place.
