Straight Dresses

Straight dresses keep a clean, simple line from hip to hem. They look smart and need very little styling. Every style in this edit has three quarter sleeves. Each one sits around the knee and is made in England. Waistbands, pleats and gathers add shape at the top. That makes them easy, polished choices for work and smart events. Sizes run from S to XXL.

A clean line that works hard

A straight dress drops neatly down from the hips. It does not flare or taper much. So it looks crisp and professional. It is easy to pair with a jacket or cardigan.

Our versions still define your waist. The Donna has a wide cinching waistband and crossbody pleats. The Adriana adds a wide waistband and gathers at the shoulder. The Miracle has a keyhole on the front panel and pleats at the waist.

Four styles, three fabrics

  • Donna in Bi-Stretch. Smooth and crease-resistant.
  • Donna in Venice Stretch, in Lavender Purple. It gently holds you in.
  • Adriana in a heavier Cameo Stretch Crepe. Warm, with frilled cuffs.
  • Miracle in luxury Moss Crepe, in five bold colours.

Straight, pencil or A-line?

A straight dress sits between the two. A pencil dress hugs the hips more closely. An A-line flares out from the waist. If you want more shape, see our pencil dresses. If you want more room, try A-line dresses.

For daily office wear, our office dresses have more ideas.

How to style a straight dress

  • Add a cropped jacket and court shoes for meetings.
  • Wear opaque tights and ankle boots in autumn.
  • Swap to heels and bold earrings for an evening event.
  • Keep bags structured to match the clean line.

A straight dress is a calm canvas. So it is a good place to try bold colours. The Miracle comes in five strong shades. The Donna in Lavender Purple is softer and suits spring events.

Every dress is designed and made in England. Our pattern cutters check each one, so the waist sits right on every size.

Prefer a different sleeve? We also make many styles with short or long sleeves. Every straight dress here sits around the knee, so lengths are easy to plan.
