There is a length that suits almost everyone: the midi. Long enough to feel elegant and covered, short enough to move easily, and it falls in a line that lengthens the whole body.

Our Midi Dresses are built around that line. Each one adds one thoughtful detail — floral buttons, sculpted or ruffled sleeves, a wrap front, a touch of colourblock — so you look dressed without any effort.

There are sixteen in the collection. Here is what we would point out.

1

The mid-calf line that flatters.

The dresses fall to the mid-calf in a straight, fluid line that follows the body without gripping it. It lengthens the frame and moves beautifully when you walk.

One detail that makes the dress: floral buttons down the front.
2

One detail that makes the dress.

Floral buttons on Giulia and Martina, knotted cuffs on Chiara, ruffle sleeves on Ludovica, striped three-quarter sleeves on Vittoria. Small things you notice from across the room.

3

Colours that go anywhere.

Clean white, soft pink, navy, olive, sage, warm brown and black — colours that work for a lunch, a family gathering or a day out.

4

Easy to dress up or down.

Add a belt, earrings and heels for an occasion, or sneakers and a cardigan for a weekday. One dress, many outings.

5

Something for every shape.

Button-front, wrap, A-line, flowing kaftan, and even a two-piece top and midi skirt in Caterina. Choose the cut that feels most like you.

6

XS through 2XL, one price.

Every dress comes in sizes XS to 2XL, at the same price in every size.

Our Midi Dresses, against the everyday dress

You can find a plain dress anywhere. Here is how they compare.

The everyday dress
  • Length that cuts at the knee
  • Plain, nothing to notice
  • Clings in the wrong places
  • Only works for one occasion
  • Needs a lot of accessories
  • Limited colours
Midi Dresses
  • Mid-calf line that lengthens
  • One elegant detail
  • Falls without gripping
  • Lunch, family, day out
  • Looks finished on its own
  • White, pink, navy, olive, sage, black
A good dress should make getting ready the easiest part of your day.
