Sexy midi dresses, midi sexy dress for evenings out

Sexy midi dresses work by covering the knee and then showing something else, maybe a shoulder, a leg through a slit, or simply the line of your body. That’s how we cut ours. If you’d call it a midi sexy dress, the way a British search might, you’re in the right place.

Date night and dinner for two

Velvet is our first answer. The burgundy bodycon midi is cut tight, with a V at the neck and sleeves to the wrist, so it needs very little jewelry. A pendant on a chain sits in the V. That’s enough.

Prefer bare shoulders? Our black velvet midi drops off both, and the draped front ends in a slit at the side. The sleeves stop at three-quarter length, so a thin bracelet shows. Show the slit with pointed pumps or thin-heeled sandals.

The red velvet midi keeps a round neck and full sleeves, then opens at the leg as you walk. It’s covered enough for dinner with colleagues. Would you guess that from the color? Probably not.

Birthdays, parties and New Year’s Eve

Here we’d go for shine. One black midi has lurex in the knit, which is metallic thread, so it glitters in any light. Shoulders are open, sleeves are long, and there’s draping plus a leg slit. Put your hair up for that one. A gray lurex midi is the softer take, closed at the top with a slit that moves when you step.

White at a party? We make a white velvet midi that sleeves only one arm, right down to the wrist, and bares the opposite shoulder. Keep jewelry minimal there and choose a single pair of earrings over a necklace. Nude heels make your legs look longer with it.

Daytime, the office and summer heat

These don’t have to wait for dark. Our rib knit midis stretch and sit close, and that’s the whole appeal. The white sleeveless one reaches mid-calf and layers from fall to spring over a thin turtleneck or under a long cardigan. Wear seamless nude underwear beneath it.

On a freezing morning, the red midi with a turtleneck, sewn from a knit with angora, warms neck and arms and still follows your figure. Swap flat boots for pointed ankle boots and it’s ready for dinner.

Summer has its own pair. Two white linen midis bare the shoulders, one plain and one in a floral crinkle linen. We’d take either on vacation with leather sandals.

Everything here comes in XS to XL. A close fit is the point, so check your hips against the chart first. From here, try the bodycon midis or our sexy dresses in every length.
