The Pesty look

Sleeves and structure carry the Pesty signature. The Isabella Peplum Puffy Sleeved Taffeta Midi Dress combines a peplum waist with full sleeves; the Paloma A-line Leg Of Mutton Sleeved Lace Mini Dress and the Quincy A-line Leg Of Mutton Sleeved Taffeta Jacket use the high, gathered Victorian sleeve on lace and taffeta. The Jasper A-line Puffy Sleeved Polycotton Midi Dress is the softer, daytime version of the same idea.

The pegged shapes are the other strand: the Michaela Pegged Sleeveless Brocade Midi Dress, the Magnolia Pegged Curved Neck Taffeta Midi Dress and the Ophelia Pegged V-Neck Taffeta Top narrow toward the hem. Simpler A-lines include the Harper A-line High Neck Lace Mini Dress, the Lila A-line Round Neck Brocade Mini Dress and the Cora A-line V-Neck Taffeta Mini Dress. White and black are the most common colors.

Separates and sets

The Quincy A-line High Waist Taffeta Mini Skirt and the Quincy A-line Leg Of Mutton Sleeved Taffeta Jacket are cut as a pair, and the Ophelia Pegged V-Neck Taffeta Top slots under the jacket or over the skirt. The Elowen A-line V-Neck Linen Mini Set is the brand's one complete two-piece. Compare with other co-ord sets, or browse all mini dresses at MEAN BLVD for more in this length. Capsule tags on the range are Gossamer Grace and Gleaming Tapestry.

When to wear it

Pesty is bought for cocktail parties, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Women's Day and wedding guest invitations. The long-sleeved Isabella, Paloma and Jasper dresses and the high-necked Harper and Elodie Sheath High Neck Polycotton Mini Dress give the most coverage on top, though hemlines are mini or midi, so Gulf shoppers may prefer them for private gatherings or over slim pants.

How do Pesty dresses fit?

A-line and fit-and-flare cuts are fitted at the bust and waist and loose below; the pegged styles are roomier at the hip and narrow at the hem, so check the hem measurement. Taffeta and brocade do not stretch, so size by your largest measurement using the chart on each product page.

How should I style them?

Big sleeves want nothing else large: a slim heel, a small bag and simple earrings. The brocade dresses are formal enough alone; the polycotton and linen pieces work with flat sandals for daytime.
