The length that decides whether an outfit reads considered or accidental.
A midi stops somewhere between the knee and the ankle, and that narrow band is exactly why it works and exactly why it goes wrong. Too high and it reads unfinished, too low and it drags on the footpath. The dresses here sit in the range that holds on most heights, which is the whole reason the length earned its own rayon.
What sits in this edit
Linen and cotton day dresses for heat, pleated and A line cuts for a wedding or the races, long sleeve versions that carry into the cool months with boots underneath. Every piece here is a dress, which is unusual for a rayon and deliberate.
Getting the length right
If you are petite, a midi often lands closer to a maxi, and if you are tall it will sit at mid calf rather than ankle. Neither is a fault, but it changes which shoe works. Measurements are listed on each product page, and the guide below covers what to do when the length is not falling where you expected.
