Women's Black Ribbed Knit Midi Dress
How to spot the original Ribbed Knit Midi Dress
Fine vertical rib runs from the neck to the hem in a rayon-rich knit, so it stretches and springs back, giving a smooth line rather than bagging at the hips.
A neat stand-up half high neck is knitted in the same rib, sitting close without folding over, so the neckline stays clean and polished under a blazer.
The sleeves end just below the elbow with a narrow turned hem, and the straight skirt falls past the knee, a clean shape that works from desk to dinner.

The rib stretches to fit.
The rib stretches and recovers, so the dress always looks smooth.
The rib hugs the figure gently and moves with you comfortably, and the midi length looks refined with heels, boots or trainers. The size range from XS to M suits slimmer figures. Add a long coat and ankle boots in winter, or a denim jacket and sandals in spring. The ribbed knit also keeps its shape well, so the dress looks smooth and sleek all day, and it packs easily for weekends away. Many customers wear it under a chunky cardigan in winter and on its own with sandals in summer.

Fabric & care
Rayon-rich knit.
Hand wash cold, dry flat.
Rayon is a plant-based fibre with a soft, fluid drape that feels cool against the skin.
Hand wash cold or use a delicate cycle, reshape while damp and dry flat so it keeps its length.
Store it folded rather than hung, so the knit does not stretch.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this dress?
It comes in sizes XS to M. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the dress itself, taken flat: bust, waist, shoulder and length. Measure a similar dress you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this dress?
Hand wash cold, dry flat. Store it folded rather than hung, so the knit does not stretch. Always check the care label inside before the first wash, and dry it away from direct heat such as a radiator.
What shoes go with a knitted dress?
Knee-high or ankle boots with opaque tights are the classic choice on cold days; chunky trainers make it relaxed, and loafers keep it neat for work. A belt at the waist gives a softer knit more shape.
How long is this dress?
The chart gives a length of 98 cm for size XS, up to 102 cm for size M. Hold a tape measure against a similar dress you own, or against yourself, to see where it will fall. Small differences of 1–2 cm are normal for measurements taken by hand.
