Satin dresses with sleeves, from a flutter to full length

Flutter and short sleeves for hot afternoons

The square-neck minis are the lightest of the bunch. We make them in plain pink and in white or light blue with flowers. Their flutter sleeve sits right on the shoulder and goes no further, so nothing pulls when you lift your arms. The cloth is thin with a soft glow, and you won’t overheat in it in July. Coffee with friends, then a walk by the sea. That’s its kind of day.

Prefer a V-neck? The short sleeve satin dress with a wrap front comes in light blue with a floral print, and you pull the ties as snug as your waist likes. A black wrap with roses has tiny ties on the sleeves too. For something quieter, there’s a midi in white with black dots, finished with a bow tied at the neck.

A long sleeve satin dress for cooler evenings

Long sleeves show up in two families here. The first is the wrap mini. We cut it in emerald, lilac, black, white and light blue. A covered arm balances the short hem, which is why these get picked for graduations and dates. They’re cut from polyester with a little elastane.

The second family is the midi. We sew a pink and a white floral one with a ruffle at the hem and a round neck, and they suit a christening or a cool May birthday. There’s a chocolate wrap midi as well. That fabric is 98% polyester with 2% elastane for a little stretch as you move, and the color looks as good on a fall restaurant night as on a summer terrace.

Fit, and when these styles return

All of these belong to the warm-season collection. You’ll see them on the site again in spring, and winter is a fine time to measure yourself and decide. On a wrap, the tie does the adjusting. Fitted bodices are different, so go by your bust there. We make every style in XS to XL.

Frequently asked questions

What is the satin made of?

It’s a smooth, silk-look satin. Where a model’s description lists the fiber, it’s polyester with about 2% elastane.

Short sleeve or long for a wedding guest?

Think length first. Our pink floral midi with short sleeves ends mid-calf and suits a summer ceremony. If the evening may turn cool, the beige wrap midi covers your arms. More ideas sit under satin in midi length.

Can I tighten a wrap style myself?

Yes. How snug the waist feels and how deep the V goes are both up to you, so one size forgives a lot. See all of them on the wrap satin page.

Where do I look for sleeves in winter?

Try the long sleeve collection, which has velvet and knits for the cold. Our full satin range is one click away too.
