This Spring there are some wonderful little dresses coming out; some unique and some more traditional. In the unique category is the sleeveless neoprene scuba dress by Tibi. This is a dress with no sleeves and a scoop neck that has a bathing suit type top and a flared skirt. It comes in a bright tulip pink. Topshop also makes a Scuba High Neck skater dress with a mandarin collar and in the color mandarin.
A more demure look that is equally sexy is Preen Line Harbour’s denim blue short dress with a wrapped bandage style top and a tailored mid-length skirt. A bright neon strip of fabric that makes it look less casual and more cocktail-like and modern in look and cut interrupts the denim blue.
Instead of a little black dress Missoni makes a little green dress out of Jacquard. It has no sleeves and is a bright grass green and banded with a forest green elastic waist. White piping also give the dress waist a bit more interest.
Matthew Williamson has been delighting the chica crowd with his little cocktail dresses for a few years now. This season he authors a beautiful sleeveless above the knee coral shift that is decorated with scores of beautiful golden beads in the neck detail.
Some Spring dresses have longer sleeves. Amanda Uprichard makes an ultramarine blue dress with black detailing that looks great worn with beatle boots or high heeled ankle boots. The neck is a boat-neck and the sleeves are extra long and cover the hands part way.
Dresses with layered ruffles will also be very au courant. ICB has made a Grecian style dress with a tip flap and a bottom flap in attractive rich coral color. It is a handkerchief hem with a dip in the front and the back.
If you are a bit of a princess you will like the formal “pretty and pink” style mini dress by Erin Featherstone that features a tailored bodice and a poufed skirt with two huge bows on tying together a bare back The whole look is tied together with a pair of flesh colored shoes. If baby pink is too prudish then H&M has a bright pink dress with a tulip skirt and a wrap around cut to the bosom is a nice idea. However the height of this type of dress is the peach short half-scuba half-wrap dress with capped sleeves that is made by Halston.
