Knit winter dresses in warm rib and angora-blend jersey

Dense rib for the office and the drive there

Rib is the fabric we use most. It stretches, so you can move freely at a desk or behind the wheel. Our white knee-length style is warmer than thin jersey, and in a cool office you won’t want a sweater under it. The beige ribana dress with a turtleneck sits close to the body, and its long sleeve takes it from fall into winter beneath a coat.

Mustang is a thicker rib. We chose it for a black mini that zips down the bodice under a stand collar, where the skirt flares from the bodice and doesn’t hug your hips. You pick the length yourself, 80, 88 or 93–94 cm. That same heavy rib goes into a red wrap mini with a sleeve that flares below the elbow, and there’s a blue twin.

Angora blend for rooms where the radiator barely works

Does angora itch? Ours doesn’t. The milky white midi is soft against the skin and keeps you warm in a badly heated room, with nothing fancier than thick tights underneath. Its turtleneck covers your neck.

On the angora-blend wrap dress, a tie belt lets you decide how tightly the waist sits, and the flared mini skirt swings as you walk. For a winter date we’d pick the beige mini with ruffles at the shoulders and hem. Wear a straight coat over it. Bulky shoulders would crush the ruffles.

What these dresses are, and how to choose one before the cold

A plain fact first. There’s no wool in them, and nothing is knitted by hand. We cut each knit winter dress out of knitted cloth and stitch it ourselves in Ukraine, and that’s also why the fit is the same every time.

Most styles sit close, so measure hips and bust and look them up in the size chart. We make them in XS to XL. Midis look right with tall boots, and a rib mini with heavy black tights and a knee-length coat is still a cold-weather outfit. We sew this range for fall and winter, so it’s worth settling on a color and size ahead of the first frost.

You can narrow things down from here. Try turtleneck knits, casual styles for winter days, the wider sweater dress range or everything for the season, velvet included.

Frequently asked questions

Is a knit winter dress warm enough without a sweater?

Indoors, yes, in rib or angora blend. Outside you’ll still want a coat or a puffer over it.

Which boots go with a knit midi?

Tall ones on a low heel. They meet the hem, so there’s no cold gap at the calf.

How do I wash the angora blend?

Hand-wash it cool with a soft detergent. Skip the rubbing and wringing. A towel laid flat is where it dries best.

Can I wear a white knit dress in the middle of winter?

Please do. White next to your face looks fresh on gray days, and a beige coat or a short shearling jacket suits it.
