Women's Midi Dresses

A midi hem is decided by the calf. Anywhere between the knee and the ankle qualifies, but the flattering zone sits an inch or two below the widest part of the calf muscle, because a hem cutting straight across the fullest point makes the leg look shorter than it is. On an average frame that usually means 40 to 44 inches from shoulder to hem, a few inches less on a petite one, which is why the same dress reads differently on two people.

The shape carrying that hem changes everything about it. Slip and bias cuts fall narrow and fluid, pleated and A-line skirts move away from the body, sheaths hold a straight line, and tiered or shirred bodies build weight low. Fabric does the rest: silk satin and jersey swing at that length where poplin and denim hold their own shape, so the same hem reads soft on one dress and architectural on the next. Side splits and button-through fronts restore the stride a narrow midi takes away.

Frequently asked questions

All FAQ's

Women's Midi Dresses

Where should a midi dress hem fall?

Anywhere between the knee and the ankle counts as midi, but the most flattering point is one to two inches below the widest part of the calf muscle. A hem cutting straight across the fullest part of the calf visually shortens the leg. Stand in the shoes you intend to wear and check from the side in a mirror. On most frames that puts the hem at mid to lower calf, roughly 40 to 44 inches from the shoulder.

What is the difference between a midi and a tea-length dress?

Tea length is a specific point inside the midi range: the hem sits at mid-calf, roughly halfway between the knee and the ankle, and it traditionally comes with a fuller, gathered or A-line skirt. Midi covers everything from just below the knee down to the ankle in any silhouette, slip cuts and pencil skirts included. Every tea-length dress is a midi, but most midis are not tea length.

Are DIHSAN's midi dresses authentic?

Yes. Every piece DIHSAN sells is the brand's own — genuine designer product, with the maker's hardware, stamping and markings intact. Nothing is a reproduction or a licensed imitation.

Will I be charged duties on a DIHSAN midi dress order?

No. Duties are included on every DIHSAN order, and US orders include taxes as well.

Can I return a midi dress purchase at DIHSAN?

Yes. Eligible midi dresses can go back within 14 days of the ship date, for store credit rather than cash, and shipping charges are non-refundable. Items discounted 70% or more — plus swimwear, intimates, and limited-release styles at any discount — are final sale.
