Ted Baker Jesse Mixed Media Midi Dress

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Ted Baker Jesse Mixed Media Midi Dress is all about quietly intentional contrasts—think: after-dark edge meets elevated polish. The top half is a smooth, stretch-knit in inky black, giving a soft but structured feel that sits flush against the skin, almost like your favorite fitted tee turned up a notch. Down below, the midi skirt shifts into something richer, threading a metallic glint through fluid black polyester. The result is a subtle shimmer that catches city lights or candle glow, never overwhelming but always catching the eye. Ted Baker’s mode is classic-with-a-twist, and here it’s in full effect, marrying ease with attitude in a single silhouette.

The Jesse hugs where you want it to (thanks to the top’s dose of stretch) before loosening into a skirt that moves with you—never restrictive, always allowing for a proper stride. Its midi length sits just right for cross-season appeal, easy with a tailored coat for work, or barely-there heels after hours. Hidden lining in the skirt means you get sheen without transparency, and the mixed materials layer seamlessly without any visual fuss. This one thrives on its own but takes on new energy with a fitted blazer or longline trench thrown over—think high-street to holiday, city boardroom to gallery party.

Ted Baker is synonymous with precise tailoring and unexpected texture—both come into play here. The Jesse gently nods to the return of metallic and two-tone dressing that’s everywhere from runways to street-style edits, so styling feels instinctual: maybe toughened up with patent booties, or softened with a slouchy knit over the shoulders. It’s a not-so-basic black dress for the girl that trades in effortless drama.
