Fall sweater dresses, autumn jumper dress in knit

Fall sweater dresses replace a sweater and a skirt with one warm piece, and ours are sewn from soft machine knits in rib, jersey and an angora blend. In Britain you’d ask for an autumn jumper dress and mean the same thing. Most of them reach the wrist, and plenty close high at the neck.

Rib, jersey or angora blend on a chilly October morning

Pick the fabric first. Rib knit is the dense one, stretchy and close to the body, with raised vertical lines that make you look a bit taller. Our black rib midi with a round neck spends the day under a camel blazer. After work the blazer comes off and big earrings go on.

The angora blend is fluffier. We make a caramel turtleneck midi in it that’s comfortable from October through March, and with tall boots under the hem your legs are covered as well. Its red sister has the same high collar, so we’d skip the necklace and wear a wide bracelet. Jersey is the easy middle, soft and elastic enough for a whole day on your feet.

One thing to know up front. These are knit fabrics that we cut and sew, so you won’t find chunky handmade stitches or wool on this page.

Mini, midi, or a hem you choose in centimeters

How short can you go when it’s cold? Ask your tights. A cream angora-blend mini with a high neck wants opaque ones in nude or cream, plus boots in beige or brown. The red rib mini is fine for the office once a black blazer and loafers join it.

Two styles let you set the length yourself. On our black rib style a zipper runs up the bodice to a stand collar, and the skirt part flares so the hips stay loose, and you can order it 80 cm long, 88 cm, or 93–94 cm. For the burgundy jersey mini, whose skirt has two rows of ruffles, we offer nearly the same three lengths. Petite? Take 80. If you’d like your knees covered, the longest one does that.

What goes under and over a knit dress in autumn

Our white rib midi is sleeveless on purpose. A thin turtleneck slips under it, and a long cardigan or a trench finishes the job. Styles with sleeves need only a straight coat or a puffer. Anything fitted looks smoother over seamless underwear.

Cold-season knits come and go with the weather in our catalog, so it’s smart to sort out your size ahead of time. Every one of these fall sweater dresses is cut in XS to XL. Want to narrow it down? Try all our knit dresses, knits with a turtleneck, midi lengths in knit or the wider fall selection.

Frequently asked questions

Are your sweater dresses knitted by hand?

No. We sew them from machine-made knit fabric, which is why they’re smooth and fine instead of chunky.

Which size should I take in a fitted rib knit?

Your usual one, because rib stretches. Fitted styles go by the hip measurement. Stuck between two sizes? Send us your numbers and a manager will help.
