Short Party Dress

Statement minis, sculpted silhouettes, and party details. Nine short dresses built for a dance floor, each with one big idea: a cape sleeve, a bubble skirt, a shoulder rose.

Short Party Dress is the going-out drop. Every page is a single mini dress with a strong shape — ruched chiffon, a sequined corset, organza that stands away from the body, tiers of pleated ruffle — so there are fewer zones than in a layered street look and each one matters more.

That makes it a good collection for trying color you would never commit to in a fitting room. The dress is one decision, the shoes and bag are the second, and the page is finished in a few minutes.

One dress, three moods

Fill the same mini in a deep tone (burgundy, plum, ink), a pastel (blush, powder, butter) and a metallic, then compare them in your Lookbook. Sequins and paillettes suit Champagne Spark, satin and silk suit Ivory Blossom, and the Mocha Jacquard dress is made for the app's jacquard and floral patterns.
