Midi

A true midi falls between the knee and the ankle — typically mid-calf to three-quarter length. The most universally flattering point is just below the widest part of the calf, which creates a long, clean line rather than cutting across a wider point. For petite frames, a midi that hits just below the knee (rather than full mid-calf) tends to feel less overwhelming. Our midi dresses are designed for a true midi length across standard sizing; petite and tall sizing is available in select styles.

Yes — several styles in this collection are made for it. The washable silk tank midi in a neutral tone pairs naturally with a blazer or structured cardigan for a polished work look. The ultra-stretch ponte midi is wrinkle-resistant and holds its shape through a workday without special handling. For business-casual environments, a linen midi in navy or black with a fitted top layer reads as considered and professional. The key is silhouette and fabric — flowing or fitted midis both work depending on the office code.

The most useful approach is thinking about the top layer and footwear rather than the dress itself. For casual or weekend wear: sandals, a woven tote, no extras needed. For work: a structured cardigan or blazer and a low heel. For evening: a silk camisole layered under an open-front cardigan, or the dress alone with a pointed-toe sandal. The midi's versatility is largely in what you add or remove — the dress does most of the work.

Yes, our midi dresses fit true to size across all material categories. Stretch styles (ponte, cotton jersey) have built-in ease that accommodates a range of fits within a size. The linen and silk styles are cut with a slightly relaxed fit through the body to allow for the natural drape of those fabrics. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette in linen or silk, sizing down one gives a closer fit without compromising comfort.

European linen is the standout for warm-weather: it breathes, wicks moisture, and gets more comfortable the hotter it is. The smocked and scoop-neck linen midis in particular are built for summer — relaxed fit, open weave, zero heat trapping. Washable silk is also excellent in heat (silk is a natural thermoregulator) and offers a more polished, evening-ready option. Cotton jersey is comfortable and easy but retains more warmth than linen or silk. Avoid ponte in peak summer; it's better for transitional seasons.

Yes — our washable silk is specifically finished to be hand or machine washed. Use a delicate or gentle cycle in a mesh garment bag, with cold water and similar colors. Line dry or lay flat — do not tumble dry or use high heat. Cool iron on the reverse side as needed. With this care routine, the silk maintains its luster and drape through many washes. It's one of the most practically transformative things about the washable silk category: all the beauty of silk, none of the dry-cleaning cost.
