Women's Pleated Cap Sleeve Midi Dress – Francesca

Cap sleeves and a pleated skirt on a dressed-up midi dress

Francesca is what you wear when the invitation says daytime and you still want to look considered. The pleats hold their line down the skirt, a matching tie marks the waist, and cap sleeves cover just the top of the shoulder. Green, black or pink; all three read the same way in a photograph.

Why you'll love this:

• Pleats that hold – a pleated skirt design keeps its folds through the day and moves in sections rather than as one mass. Pleats also add length visually, which is useful in a skirt that stops at mid-calf.
• Waist tied in matching fabric – the tie is cut from the same cloth, so the waist is marked without a contrast break. It also means the waist can be worn at your natural line or slightly higher.
• Cap sleeves – short cap sleeves sit at the top of the shoulder, covering the join without full sleeve coverage. They also make the dress easy to wear with a bra, which sleeveless versions often are not.
• Daytime events – aimed at daytime events, from a wedding party through to a cocktail afternoon. The shape sits well seated, which matters at an event where you are at a table for hours.
