Sleeveless

Yes sleeveless dresses can be very flattering on plus size when the armhole is graded properly. Look for sleeveless styles with armholes that sit close to the body without gaping or pulling. We grade sleeveless armholes for each size to ensure proper fit.

Layer with a long cardigan, shrug, lightweight jacket or kaftan over the sleeveless dress. Many of our sleeveless dresses are designed specifically for layering. Look for our Cardigans & Layering collection for compatible layering pieces.

It depends on the office. Some corporate environments require sleeves at all times. For most modern offices, sleeveless dresses are appropriate when paired with a blazer or cardigan during the workday. Check your specific office dress code.

Linen, lightweight viscose, cotton, and chiffon are the coolest options. Avoid synthetic fabrics that don’t breathe they trap heat. Look for fabric descriptions including ‘breathable’, ‘lightweight’ and natural fibres for hot weather wear.

Yes sleeveless dresses are popular wedding guest options. For more formal weddings, choose lined sleeveless dresses in elegant fabrics like satin, crepe or lace. For garden and casual weddings, lighter sleeveless options work. Bring a shrug or wrap if the venue is air-conditioned.

Yes sleeveless tops follow the same principles. They work as standalone summer pieces or as layering bases under cardigans and blazers. The same armhole grading applies. Browse our Tops collection for sleeveless options.
