A midi dress in navy gains personality and proportion through sleeve detail that moves beyond standard long sleeves. Flutter sleeves add femininity without frilliness. Puffed sleeves at the shoulder add shape and visual interest. Bell sleeves create movement and proportion. Capped sleeves frame the shoulder in a flattering way. Sleeve detail is particularly important in midi dresses because the proportion of the dress to the body is already extended. Good sleeve detail adds visual anchor points. Navy works with any sleeve detail because the colour is neutral enough to let the construction speak for itself. The fabric of the sleeve matters because it needs to move and drape appropriately depending on the detail. These are the navy midi dresses that use sleeve construction to add character and polish to a professional silhouette.
