Jersey dresses with long sleeves for workdays and dinners

Pick your hem length and we’ll sew it that way

Here’s something people don’t expect. On a few of our minis you choose the length. Take the black rib mini with the front zip and high collar. It’s 80, 88 or 93–94 cm long, whichever you put in the comment when you order. We sew everything ourselves, so that’s a normal request for us. Shorter suits petite women and tall boots. Longer covers the knee.

That zip mini is fitted through the bodice and flares from there, so the skirt doesn’t cling to your hips. Size it by your bust.

You can pick the length on our flounced jersey minis too, from 80 cm up to 92–94. They’re soft and stretchy. Take your usual size.

A rib knit dress at the office, in the car and at dinner

Rib knit gives when you move. Our white knee-length rib dress is easy to sit in at a desk all day and just as easy behind the wheel. In a chilly office you won’t need a sweater under it. Flat suede boots on weekdays, white sneakers on Saturday.

Our blue midi in rib, with its shallow V-neck, goes from a gray blazer and loafers at lunch to silver earrings and a thin chain at dinner. Keep the same tights.

Then there’s the black bodycon mini with a small drop cutout high on the chest. The label says 95% cotton with 5% elastane. We made that one for every season, with sneakers in July and a trench in October. A jersey dress like that is the one you’ll stop thinking about and just wear. More ideas for weekday dressing are on our dresses for the office page.

Angora for the really cold weeks

From October to March, the caramel angora turtleneck midi is basically a warm sweater you can wear to a meeting. It looks good with cream, milk and brown, and with tall boots your legs stay covered. Put earrings on, not a necklace.

For a cooler shade, there’s angora in gray-blue, short, with a stand collar. Gray blazer for work, heeled ankle boots for a party. If you want more of this cozy feel, see our sweater dress page, which the British call jumper dresses.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hang knit dresses in the closet?

Better not. Fold them on a shelf, because a hanger slowly pulls knit longer. Wash at 30 °C or lower on delicate, short spin, and dry them flat.

Is a sleeveless rib midi warm enough for winter?

On its own, no. Treat that jersey dress as a layer, pull a thin turtleneck on underneath and add a long cardigan.

What do I do about pilling on angora?

A small fabric shaver takes it off in a minute. When you wash it, use cool water, your hands and a mild soap, and skip the rubbing and wringing.

Do you have short knits with long sleeves?

Yes, from rib to angora, on our long-sleeve mini page.
