Short pink graduation dresses in knit, velvet and satin

Short pink graduation dresses come in two moods with us, a clear rose pink and a paler powder pink. It’s a small group, so we can walk you through each piece. Nearly all of them are minis, and the single exception ends at the knee.

Two floral wraps for a summer ceremony

For a May or June date we make two wraps with a flower print. The powder pink one has ruffles and a short sleeve, and its soft shade looks good on tanned skin. Beige sandals suit it on the day. Plain pearls or thin gold are plenty, since the print and the ruffles already decorate it.

Our rose pink wrap is silk-look satin, 98 percent polyester with 2 percent elastane, with light ruffles along the hem, and it’s the one that reaches the knee. How deep the V goes depends on how you tie it. Bring a thin milk-colored cardigan if the party moves down to the water after dark.

These two are summer pieces and show up in the catalog with warm weather, so plan your fitting ahead of the season.

Powder velvet and lurex for a winter graduation

December graduates aren’t left out. The powder pink velvet mini wraps at the front and gathers into soft folds at the waist, which shapes the figure without a belt. Its sleeves are long, so you won’t need a cover-up indoors. Nude heels or tall boots in the same tone go with it, and a thin pendant fills the V.

Then there’s lurex. Our powder wrap in metallic knit has a quiet shimmer for rooms where bright silver or gold might be too much. The long sleeve makes it warmer than you’d guess.

Stuck between sizes on the velvet wrap? Go down and ease the wrap a little.

Rose pink minis with long sleeves for cool days

Three more short pink graduation dresses are made for chilly weather. One is an angora-blend mini with a slit, warm enough to wear with no sweater on top. Another has ruffles at the hem and a smooth round-neck top, so tiny stud earrings are all it needs. The third is a turtleneck mini with a close fit. Sit on a chair in that one at the fitting. If you can’t decide between sizes, the larger gives you comfort at the collar.
