Essi 3/4 Dress

The Essi 3/4 Kort Dress in Black is a short dress with 3/4 sleeves, made from smooth polyester for a woman who wants one piece that works from a normal weekday to something dressier. The mini length and the cropped sleeves keep it easy to move in without feeling too bare on cooler days.

If your problem is having nothing that bridges the gap between casual and dressed up, this is the one dress you can reach for either way. The 3/4 sleeves are the reason: they cover more than a short sleeve but stay lighter than a full one, so the dress carries across seasons.

Wear it flat with trainers and a denim jacket for the day, then swap in heeled boots and a fine necklace when the evening calls for it.
