V neck midi dress in velvet, satin and prints

Two things can give a V neck midi dress its neckline here, a wrap you tie yourself or a V we cut straight into the front. About half of these midis are cold-season dresses with long sleeves. The others are summer ones, mostly printed wraps with short sleeves.

Velvet and rib knit Vs for the cold half of the year

Start with the black velvet midi. Its triangle neckline opens the collarbones, the sleeves are long, and the hem falls below the knee, so it’s our suggestion for New Year’s dinner at your parents’ table or an office party at a restaurant. A pendant on a thin chain fills the V nicely.

The emerald velvet one is a wrap. Its V is shallow, and the belt lets you decide how close the waist sits. Tie that belt at your natural waist when you try it on, and the overlap will lie flat. Want color without velvet? There’s a fitted blue rib knit with a modest V that you can wear to work with a gray blazer on top, and a wrap in stretchy electric blue lurex knit that shows up even in dim restaurant light.

Red velvet? That midi already has a narrow belt of its own.

Floral wraps, polka dots and satin once it’s warm

Summer changes the fabric and the sleeve. We sew the pink floral wrap with waist ties you pull as tight as you like, so it suits a narrow waist and a rounder one equally. The black polka-dot wrap is the one for a day with a meeting and friends afterward.

Then there’s the satin. A beige wrap in matte silk-look satin with long sleeves is our pick for a friend’s summer wedding, and the lemon V neck midi dress has a fitted waist, a flared skirt and an open back. All of these are summer styles, and the site shows them again once the weather turns warm. Choosing your size ahead is a good idea.

Which measurement decides your size

It depends on the cut. A wrap only needs your bust measurement, since you tie the waist yourself. On fitted velvet or rib knit, take bust and hip measurements and look both up in the table next to the photos. Every V neck midi dress here comes in XS to XL, with M landing around US 6–8.

One more thing about length. A midi hem looks right at any height if your shoes have a heel, even a low block one. From here you can compare V-necks in other lengths or see every midi we sew.
