Spring dress for Easter and garden parties

You can look through every spring dress on this page right now, even though our warm collection doesn’t return to the main catalog until March. That leaves the rest of the winter to settle on a fabric, a length and a color before Easter comes around.

Pale blue, lemon or plain white for the first warm weeks

White leads this page, followed by black and red. For something softer, there’s light blue, pink, powder pink, mint, lilac and a sunny lemon. Our white floral wrap mini with long sleeves looks like a garden in April. Black works too, in a small print. The one-shoulder polka-dot mini has one bare shoulder, a ruffle following the neckline and a second ruffle finishing the skirt.

Prints are all over the spring styles, so there are more ideas among our flower-print dresses.

Wrap, flounce or open back for Easter and garden parties

Most necklines here are V-shaped, and a lot of them come from a wrap that ties at the waist, which means you set the fit yourself. A garden party calls for the pink printed midi with short sleeves and a flounce at the bottom. For dinner outside or a friend’s wedding, try the lemon sateen midi, fitted on top with a flared skirt and an open back, and wear your hair up so the back actually shows. A spring dress for a wedding should still leave white to the bride, and our page of guest looks for spring weddings narrows it down.

Off-shoulder cuts turn up a lot. Our white printed one has short puff sleeves, ruffles and a belt that pulls in the waist. It won’t hang like a sack in the heat.

Fabric matters more than you’d think in April. Muslin, cotton and linen for warm days, satin when you want to look dressed up. Viscose is there too.

What to throw on when April turns cold

Bring a denim jacket or a light cardigan for the floral midi. During the day the black floral sundress goes with white sneakers and a tote. And if March is still freezing, a velvet or rib knit style will see you through until it warms up and it’s time to move on to lighter summer pieces.

Frequently asked questions

Isn’t it too early to choose now?

Not really. Each model stays on this page with a season note until March, and you can compare cuts and look at measurements at your own pace.

What shoes go with a floral midi?

Plain ones. White sneakers, beige sandals or espadrilles let the print stay the loud part.

Are there styles with long sleeves?

Plenty. The white floral wrap mini is one, and those sleeves help on a cool morning and against strong sun later in the day.

What goes under a satin wrap?

A smooth, seamless bra in a nude shade, since satin shows every line underneath. Choose the color first, then check our size chart before you settle on a spring dress.
