What is a short dress called?
1 Answer
What a short dress is called depends on the length of its hemline. Micro dresses are the shortest and are usually around 30 to 32 inches in length, while mini dresses are slightly longer at 33 to 35 inches. Above-the-knee dresses are the longest type, generally still considered to be short at 35 to 37 inches. Keep in mind that where a particular dress hits on your body will depend on your height. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of evening dresses.
