Flowy midi dresses that move when you walk

Summer dates, garden parties and a friend’s wedding

Hot afternoon outside? Go for muslin. Muslin breathes, so our muslin wrap midi stays cool on a sticky day. It has a short puffed sleeve, a belt that cinches you at the middle and a ruffle at the hem for lift. You can order it in pink or in a pale sky blue.

Our lilac-flowered midi on a white ground is cut from lightweight viscose, with a tie belt and long cuffed sleeves, so it still works after sunset. For a May birthday or a christening, look at the floral satin styles with a ruffled hem. That satin is polyester with just 2 % elastane, smooth against the skin, with long sleeves that cover your arms in a cool hall.

These warm-weather prints come back to the catalog with the summer collection. Pick flat sandals for the lawn, since heels sink.

A workday that ends at dinner

Prints are kind to a long day. On the black wrap with small blue flowers, the pattern hides the creases you collect sitting at a desk, and the short sleeve and below-the-knee hem keep it office-friendly. The chocolate-brown floral wrap does the same job in a warmer color.

In the cold months we’d reach for the beige pleated midi with three-quarter sleeves. Throw a thin sweater over your shoulders and wear loafers or ankle boots. That’s it.

Velvet pleats and lurex for the holidays

A flowy midi dress in pleated velvet is made for dancing. The red one with a pleated skirt has short sleeves and a round neck, so all the movement sits in the skirt. If you’d like your shoulders bare, there’s a red velvet plisse that leaves both shoulders open with sleeves that stop a little below your elbows, and a white velvet plisse for an engagement party or a winter photo shoot.

Prefer some shine? The blue lurex wrap midi stretches, so it won’t press on you at a long table.

Frequently asked questions

Will a pleated midi make me look wider?

Not really. The pleats run up and down, and the top sits closer to the body than the skirt does.

What shoes go with a ruffled midi hem?

Something with a bit of a heel or a clean flat sandal. The ruffle ends below the knee, so ankle straps stay visible.

Which size works for the wrap styles?

Go by your bust measurement. The tie lets you adjust the waist, and we cut every flowy midi dress here in XS to XL.

Do you have them shorter or longer?

Yes. Try our short flowy dresses or the flowy maxi page. Every length below the knee is on the midi dress page.
