Comfortable Dresses

Some days call for comfort first. Our comfortable dresses are soft, easy to wear and still look sharp. Think relaxed A-line skirts, flowing maxis and gentle midis, plus a few fitted styles in forgiving tricot. Many have short sleeves, and some have side pockets. Each one is designed and made in England, so you get quality and ease in one dress.

Comfort without looking casual

A comfortable dress should not feel like loungewear. The trick is a soft fabric with a clean cut. That way you look neat at a lunch, a family visit or a long journey.

These styles skim the body rather than grip it. Many have fuller skirts and easy necklines. You can sit, walk and stretch without thinking about your outfit.

Styles in this collection

The Irena Long Sleeve Tricot Dress and the Elstar Tricot Pencil Dress use soft tricot fabric with an easy stretch. The Asquith A-Line Midaxi Dress has a relaxed skirt that moves as you walk.

For summer, the Senza Maxi Floral Sleeveless Long Dress, the Kafka Printed Maxi Dress and the Corina Sleeveless Maxi Printed Dress are light and breezy. The Carella Midi Navy Print Dress and the Dreamer Lady Print Midi Dress offer pretty prints at a mid-calf length. The Fern Sleeved Blue Printed Dress adds a gentle sleeve.

What makes a dress comfortable?

  • Stretch: fabric that gives as you move, then springs back.
  • Shape: an A-line or relaxed skirt that does not cling.
  • Sleeves: short or cap sleeves for airflow on warm days.
  • Details: side pockets for your phone or keys.

Several styles use a printed Ripple Crepe, which is light and stretchy. A few use satin for a smooth, cool feel. Our fabric guide explains how each fabric behaves.

Where to wear them

These dresses are made for real life. Wear one to a garden party, a day out, a long-haul flight or a busy family day. Add sneakers and a denim jacket for weekends. Swap to sandals and a straw bag on vacation.

Need more structure? Our A-line dresses and day dresses offer more polished options. For longer lengths, see our maxi dresses.
