V-neck dresses from short wraps to flowing muslin maxis

Wraps, where you decide how deep the V goes

A big part of our V-necks are wraps. The two sides cross at the front and tie at the waist, so you choose the depth yourself. Pull it snug for the office. Loosen it a little for a date.

In the cold months we sew wraps in velvet and lurex. The chocolate velvet mini is cut from stretchy velvet, with draping gathered at the waist and an asymmetric hem, and the warm brown shade softens your face under yellow restaurant light. Our blue lurex midi has a tie belt and long sleeves. It catches every candle at a holiday dinner, and the knit stretches, so it won’t pinch while you sit at the table.

The red rib knit wrap is for everyday fall. It’s made of mustang rib knit, dense and warm, with sleeves that flare from the elbow. Keep the rest of the outfit quiet, black tights and plain boots, and let the red do its thing.

Summer V-necks in prints, satin and muslin

When it’s warm, the V comes in lighter fabrics. A lemon sateen midi has an open back and flutter sleeves. A light blue mini with red flowers has full sleeves on cuffs and a tiered skirt that adds volume at the hips. That shape balances broad shoulders nicely.

Want length? We sew white muslin maxis with a wrap V, one with flowers, one with pink hearts. Muslin crinkles a little after washing, and that’s normal. A quick steam brings it back. They’re long and loose, and we’d pick one for a beach town vacation or a garden party in August.

How deep is too deep? On a midi with short sleeves, like our pink one with a flounce at the hem, the V is modest enough for a picnic with family. The velvet wraps go lower, so they belong to evenings out.

Sizes run XS to XL, and a US 10 usually lands on our L. With a wrap, check your bust first, the tie handles the waist. See more on our tie-waist dresses, all dresses we make, or the midi lengths.

Frequently asked questions

Which bra works under a deep V?

A plunge bra or a stick-on one. For the velvet wraps, that’s the safest choice.

Is a V-neck good for a large bust?

Often, yes. It breaks up the area across the chest, and a wrap lets you adjust the opening to feel comfortable.

Can I wear a V-neck to the office?

Sure, in a midi with sleeves. Tie the wrap snug and add a blazer, and you’re covered for meetings.

What necklace goes with a V neckline?

A pendant on a thin chain that ends above the point of the V. Skip chokers, they cut the line.
