Short Sleeve Dresses & Tunics
A short sleeve dress or tunic should earn its place in your wardrobe well beyond one wear. Ours are built from breathable, easy-care fabrics and cut to flatter a range of shapes, so they move easily from a morning errand to an evening out. Sizes run from 6 to 20, with fits designed to sit comfortably without restricting arm movement.
Why Short Sleeve Dresses and Tunics Work Year Round
Comfort in every season
Short sleeves sit well on their own through warmer months and layer easily under a jacket, cardigan or wrap when temperatures drop. That versatility means a piece doesn't sit unworn once the season changes.
A fit for every shape
Available in sizes 6 to 20, our short sleeve dresses and tunics are cut to skim rather than cling, giving gentle coverage through the arms while keeping the rest of the silhouette easy and comfortable.
One piece, several occasions
A short sleeve dress can carry you from a casual lunch to a smarter setting with a change of accessories. Add wedge sandals and light jewellery for daytime, or a blazer and heels to take the same piece into the evening.
Fabrics that are genuinely low maintenance
Cotton, viscose and tencel resist creasing and stay comfortable through a full day of wear. Our signature wash and wear fabric needs little to no ironing, so getting dressed stays simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should a short sleeve dress or tunic fit?
Fit comes down to personal preference. Choose a sleeve ending at the elbow for more coverage, or one that sits mid-bicep for a lighter look. The best fit is always one that feels comfortable and doesn't restrict arm movement.
What should I wear under a short sleeve dress?
A seamless bra or camisole works well under most fabrics and avoids visible lines. If the dress is lighter or slightly sheer, a slip underneath adds coverage without changing the shape of the piece.
What can I layer over a short sleeve dress or tunic?
A blazer creates a smart, office-ready look, while a cardigan or leather jacket suits casual settings. Lightweight button-up shirts and denim jackets work well for cooler spring days without restricting movement.
