The long sleeved dress is having a moment. Grazia even gave it a double page spread last week. Which is funny because long sleeved dresses are nothing new.
They’ve always been a staple in my wardrobe because they’re pretty, warm and practical. Right now I love them with tights, knits and brogues. When spring arrives I’ll be wearing them with pumps and a denim jacket. They’re the perfect transitional piece.
I recently bought this beautiful long sleeved dress in the White Stuff sale. There are still a few left if you’re quick. It’s a real bargain at £29. It marks a departure from my usual style of dress. As a pear-shape (who’s a bit challenged in the bust department) I’m usually drawn to high, round necks and tunic shapes. So I’ve been really surprised by how much I love the femininity of this style with its low neck and tie waist. I’ve worn this out in the evening and it glides effortlessly between day and night.
Here are some more I love:

I love the pink poppy dress! Which is your favourite?
This is the style of dress I LOVE! And I agree, sleeves are not new. Nearly all my dresses have sleeves. It’s an odd thing to be a new trend, right? You look lovely, by the way. The shape and colour really suits you x
Thanks Rachel! I need to try this style more often x
