A vertical stripe midi dress extends the lengthening optical effect through the full length of the garment. Midi length combined with vertical stripes creates maximum vertical visual continuity which translates to a slimming and lengthening effect. The length also means the dress reads as more polished and considered which matters when you’re intentionally working with the optical properties of stripes. Vertical stripes in midi length work in cotton blends and lightweight knits that have enough body to support the silhouette. The stripes continue down the full length which means the effect is consistent rather than stopping at knee level. A vertical stripe midi dress works in both casual and more dressed contexts depending on the stripe width and color combination. These are the vertical stripe midis that prove the lengthening effect gets stronger with length.
