Women's Short & Mini Dresses

Two or three inches separate a mini that moves easily from one that governs how you sit. Measured from the shoulder seam to the hem, an above-knee mini generally runs 34 to 36 inches and finishes at or just above the kneecap, a standard mini runs 32 to 34 and sits a few inches higher, and a micro-mini runs 30 to 32 and lands at mid-thigh. Those figures are taken on a model of around five foot six, so the same dress climbs on a taller frame and drops on a shorter one; check the shoulder-to-hem number against your own height rather than trusting the photograph.

Shapes fall into a few camps. Bodycon and ribbed knits follow the line of the body; A-line, skater and babydoll cuts flare and leave room to move; shift and slip styles hang straight; and blazer and shirt dresses borrow their structure from tailoring. Fabric sets the volume: sequins, crystal mesh, cut-outs and feather trims are the loud end, while crepe, satin and jersey stay quiet and denim, leather and lace sit somewhere in between.

Frequently asked questions

All FAQ's

Women's Short & Mini Dresses

How short is a mini dress?

Measured from the shoulder seam to the hem, an above-knee mini runs roughly 34 to 36 inches and finishes at or just above the kneecap. A standard mini is about 32 to 34 inches and sits a few inches higher up the thigh, and a micro-mini, at 30 to 32 inches, lands around mid-thigh. Those measurements are taken on a model of around five foot six, so the same dress reads shorter on a taller frame and longer on a shorter one.

What do you wear under a short dress?

Under a fitted or knitted mini, seamless shorts or shaping briefs stop the fabric riding up and remove visible lines. Pale or thin cloth needs a slip in a shade close to your own skin tone rather than white, which shows through more. Under a flared or skater skirt, close-fitting shorts are worth having for stairs and wind. Fashion tape along a hem will not rescue a length that is genuinely too short to sit down in.

Are DIHSAN's short and mini 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 mini dress order?

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

Can I return a mini dress purchase at DIHSAN?

Yes. Eligible short and mini 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.
