Moe Fitted Ribbed Midi Dress with Draped Asymmetric Neckline and Long Sleeves

A fitted ribbed midi dress with a draped neckline

Moe made this ribbed midi dress from a cotton rib knit, with long sleeves and a fitted cut. The neckline is the feature: a wide draped band that sits on one shoulder and slips off the other.

You pull the dress on over your head. It is 104 to 106 cm long, which puts the hem just below the knee on the model. There are four colours and three double sizes, up to 2XL/3XL.

At a glance

The piece: designed and sewn in Poland

The supplier describes a long-sleeved dress in ribbed cotton knit with a fitted cut, worn over the head, with an asymmetrical neckline and an extra drape at the side. It states that the dress was designed and sewn in Poland.

The photos show the neckline from both sides. In front, the band lies in soft folds across the chest. At the back it crosses into a V, so part of the upper back is bare. At one side of the waist the fabric is gathered into folds, and from there the skirt runs narrow to the hem.

Who it's for

For you if you want a dress that follows your body and are comfortable with that. A rib knit shows your shape; the folds at the waist and the band at the chest add some cover where many women like it.

The size range goes to 2XL/3XL, which is wider than most dresses of this type. One shoulder is bare, so you will need a strapless bra or one with a clear strap.

Fabric and feel: cotton rib, and the grey is different

The red, black and chocolate dresses are 95% cotton with 5% spandex. The grey one is listed differently: 55% cotton, 40% polyester and 5% spandex. That is common for grey melange yarns, and it is worth knowing if you choose cotton on purpose.

The rib is fine and vertical. With the spandex, it stretches around the body and springs back.

Fit and length: small numbers, stretchy fabric

The maker's table gives a length of 104 cm for S/M, 105 cm for L/XL and 106 cm for 2XL/3XL. Hips are 76, 84 and 92 cm and the waist is 62, 70 and 78 cm.

Those hip and waist numbers are small for the sizes they belong to. The likely reason is that a rib knit is measured lying flat and unstretched, and it opens up a lot when worn. The table does not say that, so we will not promise it. If you can, compare with a stretch dress you own, measured the same way.

Size chart (cm)

Source: the maker's size table. The hip and waist numbers are small for the sizes, which points to the rib knit measured unstretched. The table does not say so, so compare with a stretch dress that fits you.

Styling: pumps and one earring style

The photos show pointed pumps, nude with the grey and leopard print with the others. That is a good cue: one accent at the feet, nothing at the neck. The neckline is the jewellery.

For daytime, flat knee-high boots and a long coat tone it down. An oversized blazer over the bare shoulder makes it office-proof and still shows the drape in front.

Occasions

The supplier says special occasions and everyday wear. In red it is a Christmas or Valentine dinner dress. In black or chocolate it works for a work event, a birthday, a first date. In grey with boots it becomes a weekday dress.

Care: follow the label

The maker's data has no care instructions, so go by the label sewn into the dress.

Rib knits in general keep their length better when you dry them flat instead of on a hanger.

The wow detail: one band, two necklines

The draped band does double work. In front it frames the collarbone and one bare shoulder. At the back it crosses and opens into a V. You get an asymmetric front and an open back from a single piece of folded rib, with no zip and no clasp.
