KNWLS dresses are cut close and short, with one long exception: bandeau Skinn minis in printed jersey, a bias-cut cupro slip, washed jersey long sleeves, a hooded stretch mini and the Sable corset maxi. Start with the Elisir Slip Dress in Black, then shop all KNWLS and our designer mini dresses.

The Elisir Slip Dress
The Elisir Slip Dress in Black is the most elegant dress in the edit. It is cupro cut on the bias, so it falls close without clinging, with a plunging V neck, pleated cups and a raw edge under the bust. The body is panelled, and lacing at the waist ties in a bow at the back. It is made in the United Kingdom and matches the Elisir Skirt. Browse more slip dresses.
The Skinn Dress
The Skinn is a KNWLS staple: a sleeveless bandeau mini in printed stretch jersey, cut close and finished with coverstitching. Kendall Jenner has been photographed in a Skinn top dress, and it is one of the pieces the label is known for. This season it comes in the navy and lilac Scarf Print and the sage and pink Wallpaper Floral, each matching a pair of Halcyon leggings. Worn over the leggings it becomes a printed set.
The Ace Long Sleeve Dress
The Ace is the easiest dress here. It is washed cotton jersey, close on the body, with a wide open neckline and slouchy dolman sleeves that flare at the cuff. The Ace Long Sleeve Dress in Ash is a washed grey with a printed logo at the neck. The Ace Long Sleeve Dress in Washed Blue is hand washed, so each piece comes out slightly different.
The CU Hooded Dress
The CU Hooded Dress in Black is a stretch mini with a hood, long sleeves with flared cuffs, and drawstrings at the neck and sides that ruche it to your shape. It is made in the United Kingdom and works with a long boot through winter.
The Sable Corset Maxi Dress
The Sable Corset Maxi Dress in Scarf Print is the one long dress. It is a padded black corset with boning, a sweetheart neckline and a built-in bra, with a semi-sheer navy scarf print maxi skirt that buttons on and has a high slit. Take the skirt off and the corset stands alone. More on that in our KNWLS corsets guide, and more long styles in our maxi dresses.
Is the Miss Sixty x KNWLS dress still available?
Yes. From the Miss Sixty collaboration, the Miss Sixty x KNWLS Bandage Dress is still in stock at Coveti.
How do KNWLS dresses fit?
Close. Jersey dresses are sized XS to XL, where XS is a UK 6 and M a UK 10. The Elisir and Sable are sized UK 6 to 12. The Skinn and CU are designed to fit like a second skin, so take your usual size. The Ace is slightly more relaxed through the sleeves. See the KNWLS size guide.
How do you style a KNWLS dress?
Add one strong layer and stop. A Skinn mini with a Claw Jacket and a knee boot is classic KNWLS. The Elisir with sheer tights and a cropped leather jacket is the evening version. The Ace works with trainers, especially the Nike Air Max Muse Trainers. For a full season of looks, see our KNWLS autumn winter 2026 edit.
