Maxi Dresses

A maxi dress brings drama to any evening. Our long styles are made in England for galas, balls and black-tie events. Choose sleeveless crepe, off-shoulder shapes or velvet with long sleeves. Some have side slits or open backs for ease and impact. The edit also includes a glitter midaxi and an A-line swing style. Each one is cut to skim, not swamp. Sizes run from S to XXL.

Choosing your maxi dress

Start with the event. A black-tie dinner suits a sleek, sleeveless maxi. A winter party suits velvet or glitter. A summer wedding calls for something lighter.

  • Morwenna: sleeveless Ripple Crepe with a keyhole neckline and open back.
  • Sabrina: chain-effect straps on an open back and a fold-over skirt.
  • Classique: off-shoulder Ripple Crepe with an organza detail.
  • Isabella: black velvet with beaded mesh sleeves and a side slit.
  • Eve Metallica: black with a metallic shimmer and long sleeves.

Fabric and fit

Ripple Crepe is light, so long styles still feel comfortable. Velvet adds warmth and depth for winter. Glitter stretch fabric catches the light at parties. Each dress is tailored, so you keep your shape under all that length.

Prefer a little less length? The Unity glitter midaxi falls between midi and full length.

Styling a long dress

Choose your shoes before hemming or fitting plans. Heels suit most styles here. Keep jewelry to one focus point. Add a clutch, not a large bag.

Made in England for big nights

Long dresses need careful cutting. Too much fabric can swamp you. Too little can feel tight when you sit. Our pattern cutters balance both. That skill goes back to our corsetry roots in 1985.

Every maxi dress here is designed and made in England. Want to see the fabrics first? Book a visit to our London showroom at 146 New Cavendish Street.

Colors in this edit lean dark and dramatic. Think black, scarlet red and navy. The Unity adds gold or iris glitter. The Ramona comes in wine, forest green or cobalt. A sleeved style helps on cooler nights.
