Some evenings need a dress that covers you without looking like you have overthought it, and this long sleeve maxi dress is built for that. A high neck and fitted sleeves keep the top half calm, then a diagonal seam at the hip lets the skirt drop into a long, gathered sweep that finishes at the ankle. The fabric has a fine rib through the body, so it reads as considered rather than plain. It's the one you reach for when you want length, sleeves and a quiet kind of polish.
The diagonal seam is the detail that stops this long sleeve maxi dress from being just another high-neck knit. A straight column can look stiff once it is on. Cutting across the hip and releasing the skirt there gives you movement where you actually walk, while the bodice stays close. The high neck and long sleeves keep the top covered, which is the point of this cut. If you want a short, open neckline, this isn't the one. If you want a long, covered evening dress with a little swing at the hem, it is.
The bodice sits close through the bust and waist, with long sleeves and a high neck, then the skirt falls from the hip to the ankle. Coverage is full through the arms and most of the leg. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from polyester, which is what gives you the fine rib and the smooth, close finish through the body. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer.
You'll like how little you have to add. Sleeves, a high neck and an ankle hem are already there, so you can leave the house without building a second layer around it.
What size long sleeve maxi dress should I order if I'm between sizes?
Take the larger size. The bodice is close through the body, so extra room tends to sit better than a snug fit pulling at the hip seam.
What is it made from?
It's made from polyester. We don't have a percentage mix, so we won't guess one for you.
How long is the dress?
The hem sits at the ankle, with long sleeves and a high neck, so it is a covered maxi rather than a midi or mini.
