Women's Short Dress

What is a short dress?

A short dress is an all-in-one feminine garment, usually stopping above the knee and sometimes reaching mid-thigh.

It is distinguished by its ability to offer a chic, casual look while highlighting the legs.

Available in a variety of cuts, sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) and styles, the short dress is available in several models to suit women's tastes and needs.

Details such as sleeves, collars and patterns (polka dots, flowers, checks, etc.) play a crucial role in the design of the short dress.

The short dress trend

The short dress has become a must-have item in the wardrobe of modern women.

Its popularity is largely due to its versatility and ability to adapt to all occasions and trends: formal, evening, everyday, etc!

Whether it's for a night out with friends, a special event or a chill day out, our selection of short dresses will find their place in every situation. And that's why we love it ;)

Freeman T. Porter short dresses

At Freeman, short dresses are as much a part of summer as they are of winter. Every collection has its novelties and its new short dress ;) Whether it's a women's straight dress printed, flared, with or without sleeves, the short dress is always seductive!

The right short dress for every occasion! Opt for a printed dress to bring out your wild side in the evening, or for a plain dress, perfect for your days at the office.

We know how much the Gang adores our emblematic model, which we revisit every season with at least one new color or pattern: the Juna. And it's this nugget that inspired us to explore every facet of this article.

How do you find the right short dress for you?

To find the perfect short dress, you'll need several ingredients: cut, size, materials and pattern. So here are a few Freeman-style tips:

1. Size and cut: It's essential to choose a dress that enhances your figure.

Women with an A-shape (hips wider than shoulders) can opt for flared or trapeze dresses.

V-shaped morphologies (shoulders wider than hips) will be enhanced by trapeze dresses or dresses with hip ruffles.

For H-shaped silhouettes (shoulders and hips in line), a belt can help accentuate the waist.

X (hourglass) and 8 (thinner hourglass) shapes can opt for slim-fitting dresses that emphasize curves.

2. Length and details: The length of the dress should be adapted to your comfort and the occasion. Sleeves, whether long, short or three-quarter length, add character to the dress. Varied collars, such as V-necks or boat necks, can transform a simple dress into a unique piece.

3. Materials and patterns : Fluid materials like satin and lace add a touch of softness and femininity. Patterns such as polka dots, flowers and checks add dynamism and character.

4. Colors and styles: Neutral colors offer a classic, timeless look, while bright colors and prints add a bold, modern touch.

How to wear a short dress

Wearing a short dress with panache requires a certain mastery of accessories and combinations. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of a short dress:

1. Shoes: Shoes play a key role in the outfit. For an evening out, opt for pumps or thigh-high boots. For a casual yet feminine look, ankle boots or sandals are ideal and guarantee maximum comfort.

2. Tights : In winter, opaque tights are perfect for keeping your legs warm while adding a rock touch to your outfit.

3. Accessories: A belt can accentuate the waist, while jewelry adds a touch of pep. A handbag completes the look.

4. Layering: Add a cardigan or jacket for cooler days or a more sophisticated look. These pieces will add depth to your look.

How to slim your figure with a short dress?

For curvy women or those who simply want to slim down their silhouette, we've got a few tips on how to take advantage of the short dress trend ;)

1. Choice of cut: choose dresses with an empire or flared cut that emphasizes the bust and flatters the figure without emphasizing the hips.

2. Fluid fabrics: Fluid fabrics like viscose or cotton are comfortable and elegant, without weighing down the silhouette.

3. Patterns and colors: Discreet patterns and dark colors can slim the silhouette. Vertical patterns visually elongate the silhouette.

4. Suitable accessories: Heeled pumps elongate the legs, while a belt can mark the waist and create a more defined silhouette.

For a slimmer silhouette, the women's maxi dress is also an excellent choice!
