Mini V neck dress, short wrap dresses with a V-neck

Nearly every mini V neck dress we sew is a wrap, so the depth of the V is partly up to you. Short hem, open neckline, and usually a long sleeve to balance the two. You’ll find winter fabrics and summer prints on this page, and they don’t dress the same way.

Wrap minis in velvet, lurex and rib knit

Our chocolate velvet wrap shows how the cut works. We sew it from stretch velvet, so it hugs the figure without shortening your step. The wrap makes a deep V, the fabric drapes in toward the waist, and the hem is uneven because one panel overlaps the other. Brown likes gold, and we’d wear it with earrings and a bracelet in yellow metal and nothing at the neck.

Lurex is the party version. The emerald one has long sleeves and a tie belt, and the metallic thread shines on its own. Skip the heavy jewelry.

For every day there’s a wrap in warm rib knit. The wrap marks the waist, the skirt flares so it doesn’t press on the hips, and the long sleeve widens toward the wrist. We make it in blue and in red. Loafers by day, suede ankle boots at night.

Shoulder pads and a pleated skirt for the office

The black mini V neck dress we make for work isn’t a wrap. Shoulder pads give it a sharp line, the waist is fitted, and below it starts a pleated skirt with patch flaps. Check those flaps when you try it on. You want them resting smoothly on the hips, not stretched. The V is deep, so you’ll want a bra with a low center, and a long pendant suits the neckline better than a short necklace. Between two sizes? Go by your bust and shoulders, where the dress sits closest.

Printed V-neck minis for warm days

Summer wraps are lighter and shorter in the sleeve. The white one with yellow flowers has a ruffle collar around the V and little ties on its short sleeves, and it’s happy at a picnic with white sneakers. There are wraps in silk-look satin too, plain white and green among them. The white one has long sleeves and a little elastane in the fabric, so it moves with you.

These are summer styles, so the catalog shows them again when it gets warm. Until then you can browse minis with flower prints or go up to all our short dresses.
