Short pink dresses for dates, birthdays and holidays

Pink for cold weeks

For fall we cut a rib knit mini with a teardrop opening at the chest. It hugs you without a single zipper or button, so smooth underwear only, and in January you’d add thick tights and a coat that reaches past the knee. Love a looser fit? Try your size and one up side by side at the fitting.

The angora-blend mini has a slit and long sleeves. It’s warm. By day it’s a gray coat and white sneakers.

The turtleneck mini sits close to the body, covers your neck and makes the scarf unnecessary under a puffer, and with tall boots above the knee plus a roomy coat it looks great on a gray city afternoon. Put your jewelry on your hands, like a ring or a watch.

Velvet and lurex come in powder. Our draped velvet wrap gathers at the waist in soft folds, no belt needed, and the lurex wrap has a quiet sparkle for a New Year’s dinner. Nude heels with both.

Summer minis that come back in March

Warm-weather styles are hidden from September to February. You can still plan ahead.

Muslin is the airiest. The pink muslin wrap is double-layer cotton, which means nobody can see through it. The short sleeves are split and tied with tiny strings. Pack it for vacation, since it weighs almost nothing in a suitcase. White sandals and a woven bag.

Viscose comes next. One pink short dress in lightweight viscose is a floral wrap with a belt, and another is a loose floral cut that doesn’t mark the waist at all. If you want a waist there, tie a thin belt in one of the print’s colors. There’s also a powder polka dot mini with flounces on the sleeves and all around the hem, and a powder animal print with long sleeves that’s lovely with a caramel belt.

Frequently asked questions

Is there one I can wear all year?

Yes, the fitted pink mini with a keyhole neck. The fabric is cotton with elastane, 95 to 5, so it gives as you move. Jean jacket in spring, long cardigan in fall.

What should I measure for the close-fitting ones?

Check your hip measurement against the table. Our sizes go from XS to XL.

Which pink short dress is best for a beach trip?

The muslin wrap. It’s light, the flounce at the hem is fun on a boardwalk, and any small creases after washing come out under the steamer. Wedge sandals and gold earrings if there’s a pool party at night.

How do I wash rib knit?

At 30 °C with a slow spin, then dry it flat so it doesn’t stretch. See the rest of our mini styles in pink, longer hems on the main pink page, or every color in the mini collection.
