Looking for a timeless black dress with sleeves that is flattering, comfortable and genuinely useful? This black midi dress combines a vintage-inspired fit-and-flare silhouette with an elegant black damask pattern, three-quarter sleeves and practical side pockets.

Handcrafted in the USA by Hemet, the dress features a softly structured surplice V-neckline, gentle gathering through the bust and a broad, defined waistband. The fitted bodice flows into a beautifully full skirt, creating the classic shape of a black fit and flare dress without feeling overly formal or costume-like.

The subtle black-on-black damask pattern makes it easy to style for weddings, cocktail parties, dinners, work events and everyday occasions. Wear it with heels and vintage jewellery as a black cocktail dress with sleeves, or add flats and a cardigan for a more relaxed look.

A Black Fit and Flare Dress for Every Occasion

This versatile black vintage dress can be styled for cocktail parties, weddings, dinners, work events and evenings out. Add red heels and lipstick for a classic rockabilly look, or keep it understated with black accessories.
