Diva Classics

Diva Classics are the styles our customers come back for. Think of the York, the Eliza, the Durham and the Nadia. Each one has been refined over many seasons. Most are knee-length pencil shapes with three-quarter sleeves. They are made in England and come in plenty of colors. Blues, pinks, reds and greens all feature. Find your favorite, then buy it in a second shade.

What makes a Diva Classic

A Classic earns its place through repeat orders. These are the shapes customers trust for fit. They work for the office, weddings and nights out with little fuss.

Many share the same polished details. Look for hip pleating that shapes the waist. Most have a concealed zipper at the back and a vent at center back. That vent makes walking easy in a fitted skirt.

The fit is close but never stiff. Stretch fabrics move as you sit, walk and dance. That is why many customers wear the same Classic all day.

Names worth knowing

The York is a three-quarter sleeve pencil dress with a clean neckline. The Eliza is similar but has its own seaming. The Durham adds flute sleeves to a pencil skirt base. The Nadia comes in color block, jacquard and sleeveless versions.

There are softer shapes too. The Rochelle is a swing dress with more room in the skirt. The Weston Bond Bolero adds cover over a sleeveless dress. For winter, the Winsford is cut in velvet.

One dress, many occasions

Classics are popular because they move between settings so easily. Here is how customers tend to wear them:

  • With a plain jacket and pumps for the office.
  • With statement jewelry for a wedding or graduation.
  • With heels and a clutch for dinner.
  • With black pantyhose and boots on colder days.

Fabrics in the Classics

Several Classics use Bi-Stretch. It is smooth and resists wrinkles, so it suits long days. Others use Ottoman, a firm ribbed stretch that holds you in. With Ottoman, we suggest going one size up.

Read our fabric guide to compare the feel of each. For newer favorites, see The Diva Icons. For more fitted shapes, browse wiggle dresses.
