The Best Victoria Beckham Dresses: Every Shape Explained

Dresses are where Victoria Beckham began in 2008, and they are still the heart of the label. At Coveti the Victoria Beckham collection carries more than fifty dresses this season, from crepe midis for the office to floor-length gowns for black tie. This guide sorts them by shape so you can find the right one quickly. For the full rail of shapes from every designer, browse our designer dresses.

What makes a Victoria Beckham dress

Most of the dresses share a few habits. The length is midi, falling below the knee. The waist is defined, often with ruching, pleats and gathers rather than a belt. Sleeves have some shape: a puff, a dolman cut and a short draped cap. Fabrics are fluid and matte, usually a crepe-back satin of acetate and viscose that hangs well and does not cling.

The Bela, the house signature

The Bela is the dress most people picture: a round neck, a V-shaped back, short gathered sleeves and ruching at the waist that pulls the skirt into a long, slim line. It comes in more colours than any other style. Choose the Bela Midi Dress in Navy in velvet for winter evenings, the Bela Midi Dress in Burgundy for a wedding and the Bela Midi Dress in Yellow if you want to be noticed. We cover it in detail in our Bela dress guide.

Dolman-sleeve and short-sleeve midis

The dolman sleeve is cut in one with the body, so the shoulder is soft and the waist looks smaller by contrast. The Dolman Midi Dress in Dark Grey Melange is in pure virgin wool with a structured finish, a smart choice for the office. The Eleanor Midi Dress in Marsh Green has a short dolman sleeve and tonal topstitching. The Claude Midi Dress in Fig adds an exposed metal zip at the back.

Draped and asymmetric midis

For evening, the drapes come in. The Kyra Midi Dress in Midnight has side gathers and an asymmetric hem. The High Neck Draped Midi Dress in Marsh Green has a draped high neckline. The Victoria Midi Dress in Black has an asymmetric hem and sleeve with side gathers. Each has a concealed zip and hook closure.

Jersey dresses with stretch

If you want comfort, look at the jersey styles. The Frances Midi Dress in Burgundy is in a high-shine stretch jersey with circular gathers at the front. The Sylvie Midi Dress in Burgundy has a ruched bodice and side split. The Letice Midi Dress in Black has a high neck with a knotted drape. They move with you and pack well.

Gowns

For black tie, Victoria Beckham cuts long, close gowns in the same fluid fabrics. The Isabella Gown in Marsh Green, the Aida Gown in Navy and the Panelled Cami Gown in Black are all floor length. Our evening gown guide explains which to choose for which event.

Leather

The most unusual dress this season is the Dolman Leather Dress in Dark Earth in lambskin, with a V neck and a contrasting exposed front zip. It is a long-term piece and the highest-priced dress on the rail.

Do Victoria Beckham dresses run small?

Some do. The brand marks the Kyra, the Blaire and four colours of the Bela as running small and suggests going up a size. Most others fit true to size. Check the fit note on each product page, and read our sizing guide before you order.
