Lace Dresses

Lace brings softness and detail to a dress. Our lace dresses range from small touches to bold panels. Some have lace sleeves or cuffs. Others use lace at the neckline or waist. The Lovelock uses genuine French lace on the sleeves. Every dress is made in England. Wear one to a wedding, a special lunch or an evening out. Sizes run from S to XXL.

Lace detail or bold lace?

Lace detail styles feel lighter and suit daytime. Think lace cuffs on the Holby or lace trim on the Jura. Bolder styles feel dressier. The Kent has a lace neckline and peplum sleeves on a structured bodice. The Kendall and Longleat make lace the focus.

Shapes in this collection

Many styles are fitted pencil shapes, like the Demelza, Abberton and Mayflower. For movement, try the fluted lace sleeves on the Tatiana or Noelle. The Francesca has a fluted midi skirt and a lace V-back.

The lace sits on bases like Bi-Stretch, Ripple Crepe, Moss Crepe and Couture Stretch. Each base changes the feel. Our fabric guide explains the differences.

Colors and occasions

Black is the most popular shade here. It works for evenings, funerals and formal events. You will also find red, cobalt blue and softer shades. For a wedding, choose a lighter color with lace sleeves.

  • Lace sleeves give cover at church ceremonies.

Choosing the right lace dress

Think about where you will wear it. A lace cuff or trim is easy for daytime and work. A full lace bodice feels special for evenings. Fluted lace sleeves add movement for weddings.

Next, think about fit. Pencil styles hug the figure. Fluted and A-line styles give more room. The Darcey and Alanna are A-line options. Our size guide helps you pick the right size.

Every lace dress is designed and made in England by our own team.
