Green mini dresses from mint rib to emerald velvet

A mini green dress can mean two very different things, a soft mint rib knit for an ordinary Tuesday or emerald velvet for New Year’s Eve. We sew both, plus leaf green, and most of them come with long sleeves. The short hem is the one thing they all share.

Emerald rib with a turtleneck, any month of the year

Start with the emerald turtleneck mini. It’s Mustang rib, dense and close to the body, with a high collar and long sleeves, and it’s the green we keep in the catalog all year round. Spring means a jean jacket and white sneakers on top. By October it’s a black coat and tall flat boots. Thick tights in January.

Wear smooth seamless underwear under it. Gold earrings are enough. The collar covers your neck anyway.

We cut the same kind of rib in mint and in leaf green, each with a small cutout at the chest, and either one makes a good mini green dress for errands and lunch with friends. Leaf green wants browns around it, a camel coat or a cognac bag. Mint is cooler. Put it next to light gray and white, and swap your gold for silver. Another mint rib style ends in a ruffle along the hem, and it looks lighter with nude tights than with black ones.

Velvet and lurex for the holidays

Here’s where green gets loud. Our emerald velvet mini with a high neck is 88 cm long and warm enough to skip a wrap at the office party, which is handy if you want bright color but a covered top. Gold hoops, thin black tights, heels.

The green lurex one sparkles on its own. It has a V-neck and three-quarter sleeves, which leaves room on your wrists for rings, and it’s the mini green dress for a club night or a countdown party. Matte black tights and suede pumps go with it, or ankle boots with a steady heel if you plan to dance. One bare shoulder appeals more? We make emerald velvet with a single sleeve as well.

Roses, prints and satin once it’s warm

Our summer greens come back to the site in March. The mint wrap with roses is a silk-look satin, mostly polyester with 2 % elastane in it. You tie the wrap and set the waist yourself.

A bright green floral mini has ruffles at the hem and ties on the sleeves that you pull tighter or looser. For cool spring mornings there’s a mint floral with long sleeves on cuffs, and they stay at your wrist while you drive. An emerald satin wrap with short sleeves rounds things out for warm evenings. Longer hems in every shade are on the page with all our greens.
