Knitted women's pull dresses, long or short
The women's sweater dress is an elongated sweater that reaches the thigh, knee, or calf, knitted in fine or thick knit: it keeps you warm like a sweater and is worn like a dress, with tights and boots. Among the brands available: b.young, Desigual, La Petite Étoile, and Guess.
For a chic sweater dress, a fine, solid knit that is belted at the waist goes well with high boots.
Which jumper dress to choose?
The women's jumper dress is selected based on its knit and cut. A fine, body-hugging knit is suitable for the office, while a thick, chunky knit gives a cozy look for the weekend.
A roll neck or high neck keeps out the cold and elongates the neck; a round or V-neck exposes the face and can be worn with a necklace. Long sleeves are the norm for a really warm dress.
Long, midi, or short jumper dress?
The short jumper dress, to mid-thigh, is worn with opaque tights and knee-high or over-the-knee boots. The long jumper dress, at calf or ankle length, is the warmest and is worn with ankle boots.
The midi length, just below the knee, is the easiest: it pairs well with boots that disappear under the hem.
Loose or fitted jumper dress: which one to choose?
The loose jumper dress, oversized or A-line, leaves room around the belly and hips; a belt at the waist gives it a defined shape. The fitted jumper dress, in ribbed knit, highlights the figure and is worn with a long coat.
If you are petite, opt for a fine knit and knee-length; a long, chunky knit can overwhelm your silhouette.
How to wear a jumper dress?
With opaque tights and high women's boots, the jumper dress makes a complete winter outfit. Pair it with ankle boots and choose a midi or long dress so the hem falls over the shaft.
A waist belt, a long coat, and a scarf complete the outfit. For a more casual look, a jumper dress can also be worn with trainers and high socks.
What material for a warm jumper dress?
A wool jumper dress or merino wool dress is the warmest and breathes well. Wool and synthetic fibre blends resist pilling and distortion better; a cotton knit is good for mid-season wear.

Frequently asked questions
How to wash a jumper dress without distorting it?
Wash it in cold water, by hand or on a wool cycle, without wringing it out, then lay it flat to dry on a towel. Hanging it while wet can stretch the knit under its own weight.
How to prevent a jumper dress from pilling?
Wash it inside out and avoid carrying a bag on your shoulder, which always rubs in the same place. An anti-pilling razor can remove any existing pills.
Should you wear something under a jumper dress?
A slip or a pair of tights prevents the knit from clinging and revealing your underwear. Under an open-knit, a plain camisole is essential.
Can you wear a jumper dress to work?
Yes, go for a fine, solid knit, with opaque tights, boots or heels, and an open blazer. Avoid very casual chunky knits.
How to store a jumper dress?
Fold it rather than hanging it: on a hanger, the knit can stretch at the shoulders. Store it with a lavender sachet or cedar if it contains wool, to protect it from moths.
