Cute spring dresses for picnics, dates and birthdays

Picnics, city walks and coffee with friends

What do you wear to a picnic so it’s easy and still a little festive? Our white wrap mini with yellow flowers. It has a ruffled collar around the V-neck that frames your face, and short sleeves with ties. White sneakers or brown sandals go with it, and a light trench handles the evening.

For wandering around town, try the mini in blue polka dots. It has ruffles, long sleeves and a keyhole at the neck, and there’s a bit of a retro mood to it. Keep the rest plain. We’d wear white sneakers or ballet flats by day and add a pale denim jacket when the wind picks up.

Cool mornings are part of spring. A white wrap mini with a floral print and long sleeves covers your arms early and keeps the sun off them later.

Dates and spring birthdays

Light blue freshens your face, which is why our satin wrap mini in that shade is a cute spring dress for a date or a birthday. The tie tightens or loosens at the waist. Its sleeves are long, so a cool evening isn’t a problem. The satin is polyester with elastane, smooth and silky to the touch.

A mint mini with small roses looks like a spring morning. It has ruffles and long cuffed sleeves, and it’ll even go to work where the dress code is relaxed. Put a light trench over it.

Christenings and family days in May

Some spring events need covered arms and knees. A christening is one. For those we sew a white floral midi with long sleeves, a round neckline and a ruffled hem that keeps it from looking heavy. We’d wear beige flats or low pumps with it and stop at pearl earrings.

A word on timing. Most of these styles are part of our summer line, and that line comes back to the site when the days get warmer. So this is the moment to settle your size, XS to XL, and choose the print. For more, see all spring dresses, florals or polka dots.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a cute spring dress?

For us it’s a light dress with one playful detail, like ruffles, dots, a bow at the neck or a small flower print.

What do I wear over a spring dress on a cold day?

A light trench or a denim jacket. Either one works with nearly every style here.

On a wrap dress, do I size by bust or by waist?

By bust. You’ll set the waist yourself with the ties.

Are there longer spring dresses?

Yes, they’re gathered under spring midis.
