Black Midi Dress With Sleeves & Pockets
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.
