The Attico midi and maxi dresses: the 12 to buy, from the corset midi to the Karen gown

The Attico is known for the mini, and its midi and maxi dresses are where the brand does its most serious dressmaking: corset-seamed knits, soutache-embroidered tulle, bias-cut silk, draped viscose with leather belt inserts, and cut-out cotton maxis for the summer. Luxury Handbags has 18 in stock at both ends, 14 midis from $880 to $5,190 and 4 maxis from $1,520 to $4,710. Gemma Deeks ranked the twelve, with the occasion each is for.

The twelve best The Attico midi and maxi dresses

1. Black midi dress, $2,310

Compact viscose knit with corset-inspired seams: the midi that sculpts, travels and photographs. The first long dress to buy.

2. Ivory midi dress, $5,190

Ivory tulle in soutache embroidery with a fringed hem. Hours of handwork, the most expensive dress in stock, and the one for a formal invitation.

3. Red midi dress, $5,190

The same soutache tulle midi in red, from Fall Winter 2025. The colour makes it the more dramatic of the two.

4. Grey midi dress, $1,990

Grey virgin wool knit with metallic zips spiralling the body. A midi with the ease of a sweater and the presence of a gown.

5. Multicolor midi dress, $2,630

Pure silk cut on the bias and printed with florals and hummingbirds, with cap sleeves. The romantic exception in a graphic range.

6. Dark brown midi dress, $2,150

Dark brown stretch viscose, softly draped, with a menswear leather belt insert and a side slit. The midi for someone who has enough black.

7. Brown midi dress, $1,990

Virgin wool and cashmere knitted in dark brown with a neckline that extends into a scarf, a fitted waist and an asymmetric hem. The winter day midi.

8. White and black midi dress, $1,680

A stretchy viscose-cotton midi in white and black zebra stripes with a round neck and long sleeves. The house print in a wearable length.

9. Dark grapes midi dress, $880

Semi-sheer lyocell in dark grape with a wrap knot and a plunging neckline. The least expensive dress in stock and the holiday midi.

10. Black midi dress, $1,450

Black stretch wool gabardine, plain and sharp. The midi for the office and the dinner after it.

11. Light blue and white maxi dress, $2,090

The maxi: bandana-print viscose with cut-outs at the hips, a crossover V-neck and voluminous sleeves. For a summer wedding abroad.

12. Black long dress, $4,710

The Karen: black stretch jersey with ostrich boa feathers through the hem, long sleeves and a chain and logo plate. The gown of the range and a collector’s piece.

Midi versus maxi at The Attico

Buy the midi for anything in a city, because it is the length the brand cuts best and the one that works with a heel and a bomber alike. Buy the maxi for the summer and for weddings abroad, where the cut-out cotton and viscose pieces come into their own. The two long black pieces, the sheer jersey column with a train and the Karen, are evening gowns in all but name. The wedding guest edit sorts these by dress code, the mini guide covers the short end, and the overall ranking places them together.

Fit

The knit midis are stretch and take your usual size; the tulle, cady and gabardine pieces do not stretch, so take your measured size. Midis end mid-calf on the 178 cm model; the maxis reach the ankle. The size guide has the conversions and the model measurements.
