Long Sleeve Dresses

Long sleeve dresses give you coverage, warmth and a polished finish in one piece. This edit spans the whole calendar, from winter weddings to Christmas parties. Choose lace sleeves, rich velvet or smooth stretch crepe. Every dress is designed and made in England. Most sit on the knee, with a few midi and midaxi styles too. Sizes run S to XXL across the range.

Long sleeves for every occasion

A sleeve changes the whole mood of a dress. Lace feels romantic. Velvet feels festive. Smooth crepe feels sleek and modern. Mesh, like on the Monet, adds a light, sheer touch.

The Kendall lace dress has delicate sleeves for weddings and garden parties. The Isabelle comes in plain velvet and a velvet print, ideal for winter evenings. The Kiki is a ruched stretch midi with a soft drape. The ToTo has a Bardot off-shoulder neckline with long sleeves.

Choosing the right fabric

  • Bi-Stretch: smooth, crease-resistant and easy to pack.
  • Couture Stretch: soft with a gentle drape.
  • Ripple Crepe: light enough for spring and summer events.
  • Velvet: warm and rich for the festive season.

Styling long sleeve dresses

Keep jewellery focused on the ears or neck, as cuffs can catch on bracelets. A clutch keeps the look clean. Choose heels for evenings and knee boots for daytime in winter. For outdoor events, a wrap or shawl works well. Read our guide on wearing a shawl with a long sleeve dress.

Shapes in this edit

Most long sleeve dresses here are fitted pencil shapes. The Garland and Liah are classic examples. The Seed Provence uses colour blocking to define the waist. The Melrose has a softer A-line skirt.

Lengths vary too. Most sit on the knee. The Thruxton is a longer midaxi, and the Kiki is a midi length.

Long sleeve dresses FAQs

What sizes do you offer?

Most styles run S to XXL (UK 10 to 18). Some offer extra sizes, so check the product page.

Are long sleeve dresses too warm for summer?

Not if you choose a light fabric. Ripple Crepe or lace sleeves feel cool on warmer days and evenings.

Can I wear a long sleeve dress to a wedding?

Yes. Lace and printed styles are lovely for weddings in any season. Long sleeves also suit church ceremonies that ask for covered arms.

Will the sleeves be too long for me?

Our stretch fabrics sit comfortably, so a little extra length simply gathers at the wrist. Check the size guide for each style's measurements.

Can I return a dress?

Yes, within 14 days in original condition with tags. See our shipping and returns page for how to send it back.
