Sleeveless Dresses

Sleeveless dresses keep you cool and look clean and modern. They are also the easiest dresses to layer. This edit runs from fitted pencil shapes to A-line midis and full length evening gowns. Fabrics include light Ripple Crepe, lace and glitter. Every style is made in England. Wear one alone in summer or under a jacket. Sizes run S to XXL, with black and blue the most popular shades.

A shape for every plan

Going sleeveless puts the focus on your neckline and shoulders. It also makes jewelry stand out. Our edit covers day, work and evening, so there is a cut for most plans.

  • Pencil: the Banbury, Clara and Carrie wiggle dress are sleek and fitted.
  • A-line: the Asquith and Audrey give room to move, and the Audrey has pockets.
  • Satin: the Beatrix and Broadway bring a soft sheen for occasions.
  • Full length: the Afterdark and Delphina suit black tie and formal events.

Some new styles are on pre-order. Check the product page for dispatch dates.

Layering a sleeveless dress

A sleeveless dress is the most flexible piece you can own. Add a cropped jacket and it works for the office. Add a cardigan and it works in spring. Add a wrap and it works at an evening event.

Fabric and fit

Ripple Crepe is light and breathable for hot days. Lace adds texture for weddings. Glitter styles bring sparkle for parties.

Without sleeves, fit through the armhole matters most. It should sit close without cutting in or gaping when you raise your arms. Our size guide lists the bust measurement for each size. Want light shoulder cover instead? Try our cap sleeve dresses.

Lengths and occasions

Knee-length pencil dresses suit the office, lunches and day events. Midi and midaxi styles feel elegant for weddings and garden parties. Full length gowns are best for evening dinners and formal events.

Black and blue are the most popular shades. Pink adds a softer, summery touch. Many styles come in more than one color, so check each product page.
