Cream mini dresses in warm beige tones

Rib knit minis for coffee, a movie or a late dinner

Our rib knit minis are stretchy and sit close, hugging the waist and hips. One is plain, long-sleeved, with a round neckline. The other has a keyhole cut on the chest, a small detail that changes the whole front. Too open for the office? Throw a longline blazer over it. Both look good with opaque tights and ankle boots, and by day we’d wear them with a white puffer and sneakers.

Because rib stretches, your regular size is the right one, without sizing up. You’ll want seamless underwear under a fit this close.

Beige velvet when the evening asks for more

Who says evening means black? The velvet wrap mini has a V-neck, long sleeves and a tie that lets you pull the fit in, so go by your hip measurement when you choose a size. A pendant on a thin chain sits nicely in that V. We’d take it to a birthday or a dinner for two, in nude shoes, switching to beige boots when the cold sets in.

The second velvet mini bares the shoulders and collarbones and has three-quarter sleeves. Skip the necklace. This neckline does better with long earrings or hair twisted up high, and a bracelet shows at the wrist. At a winter party, opaque nude tights and heeled ankle boots keep it warm enough.

Ruffles in an angora blend, plus two summer prints

For a cold-weather date there’s the mini in angora-blend knit with ruffles at the shoulders and the hem. It hugs the body and keeps you covered, long in the sleeve and round at the neck, and the knit feels soft and warm. Choose a coat with a straight cut and flat shoulders, or you’ll crush the ruffles.

Summer has its own beige. We sew a wrap mini in polka dots with short sleeves and an off-shoulder mini in a floral print, and both belong to our summer collection. They return with the warm season, so plan those ahead.

Gold jewelry and a brown bag suit every beige here. All of these are cut in XS to XL, and XS is about a US 2. Want a longer hem in the same shade? Go to all our cream dresses, or see every color above the knee under mini dresses.

Frequently asked questions

Is cream the same as beige or ivory?

Not quite. Ivory is nearly white, and cream sits between ivory and beige. Ours are named beige and lean warm, so look closely at the photos first.

What tights work with a cream mini dress?

Nude or coffee-brown. They don’t compete with the color.

Will the velvet be warm enough in winter?

With long sleeves, yes. Add a camel coat for the trip there.

Which one works for daytime?

The rib knit with the keyhole. A long plaid coat and a leather bag make it look completely different from the sneaker version.
