A pink sparkly dress with a wrap front and long sleeves
Our pink sparkly dress is a single style, and we like it for its restraint. It’s powder pink lurex with a quiet glow, for evenings when a silver or gold dress might seem like too much.
Powder pink lurex, cut as a wrap
Lurex means metallic thread runs through the fabric, so the shimmer is built in. On a pale pink base it looks soft rather than flashy. That’s the whole idea.
The front wraps across the body and forms a V-neck, which makes the neck look a little longer. The sleeves are long and the hem is short. Covered arms, bare legs, and the balance works. It’s warmer than it looks, too, which helps in December.
We’d wear it to a birthday, a cocktail party or New Year’s Eve dinner at home with family. The shade is lovely on fair skin and light brown or blond hair.
Why powder pink and not something brighter? A bold pink plus metallic thread can look like a costume under party lights. This softer base keeps the sparkle grown-up, so the same pink sparkly dress feels right at a restaurant table with your parents and later at a bar with friends. You won’t need to change in between.
Shoes, tights and a coat for a shimmery pink mini
Because the fabric already sparkles, keep the jewelry tiny. Studs or a thin bracelet, nothing that fights the shine. Nude or gold shoes keep the look in one warm family of colors, and sheer matte nude tights don’t add any extra gloss on top.
Heading out in the cold? A beige coat or a short jacket finishes it without hiding the pink, and a camel color looks especially good against the shimmer.
The wrap gives a little at the waist, but don’t rely on it to fix the size. Measure your bust, waist and hips and match them to the chart, then pick from XS to XL. If you’re usually a US 4, start with our S.

Frequently asked questions
Is it too sparkly for an office party?
Not really. The glow is soft on powder pink, and the long sleeves keep it covered enough for colleagues.
Can the lurex go in the washing machine?
Yes, on a delicate program with cool water, zipped into a mesh bag. Lay it flat in the shade afterward and skip bleach completely.
Will the wrap open when I sit down?
It’s held by its tie, so knot it well before you leave and check it in a mirror sitting down.
Does it come in another color?
Not this one. We do sew a lurex wrap mini in emerald and another in black, and you’ll find them among the sparkly minis.
