High neck black dresses with long sleeves, mini and midi

Order a high neck black dress from us and long sleeves come with it, so the only skin on show is below the hem. Most are turtlenecks. A couple have a stand collar, and all of them are sewn for fall and winter.

Turtleneck or stand collar

A turtleneck sits soft around your neck and works like a sweater. You’ll find it on our rib midis, on the angora-blend midi and on both black velvet dresses. This collar tends to suit a long or medium neck best. Pull your hair into a high ponytail or a bun, and the neck looks longer still.

The stand collar is a different animal. On our black rib mini it comes with a zipper down the front of the bodice, so you decide how far to close it. That dress flares out from the bodice and stays loose over the hips. You can order it at 80, 88 or 93–94 cm, whichever suits your height.

Where the jewelry goes when your neck is covered

Not on the neck. Move it to your ears or your wrists, where big earrings, a watch or a wide bracelet worn over the sleeve all have room. There’s one exception we’d allow. On a ribbed turtleneck, a single long chain over the collar looks right.

Rib for weekdays, velvet for the theater

Rib knit is the weekday fabric. A leg slit is cut into several of our rib midis, which frees your stride and lightens a covered silhouette. With a camel blazer and loafers a black midi like this is office wear. Swap in heeled ankle boots and it’s ready for dinner.

Want the warmest one? That’s the angora-blend midi, which heats like a sweater in a winter office.

Velvet changes the mood. Black goes deeper on it, so the turtleneck midi in velvet looks festive with no trim at all, and we’d choose it for concert nights, a dinner with business partners or a family New Year. Pumps on a mid heel are the right height for that hem.

Nearly every high neck black dress here hugs the figure. Take bust and hip measurements, and on the midis trust the hip number first. We make them in XS to XL.
