How Much is a Short Slip Dress?
Finding the Right clothing for You
From museum-worthy vintage Oscar de la Renta evening dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing available on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement.
For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think Galliano and Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Chanel remain classic for haute couture advocates and beyond. By exploring the vast array of vintage collections on these pages, you can transform your closet into a retreat that is as retro as it is royal.
Velvet cocktail dresses and silk evening gowns designed by French-born American couturiere Pauline Trigère — who dressed Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor — have proven timeless since their mid-century debut, while an overcoat by Alexander McQueen is the perfect finishing touch. In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.
Those seeking modern high-fashion brands are also in luck. Turn your day-to-day into a runway with selections from Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace or complete that fresh look with stunning footwear classics from the likes of Gucci and Christian Louboutin. The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing.
Build your collection of covetable and iconic vintage garments by shopping on 1stDibs. No matter where you roam, our diverse apparel and accessories will keep you covered in the hottest styles and comfiest black hoodie imaginable.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The point of a slip dress depends on the wearer. Some people like slip dresses because the narrow straps are comfortable in hot weather.

- What era are slip dresses from?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Slip dresses were popular during the 1990s (although slips were commonly worn as undergarments decades prior to this era). In 1993, supermodel Kate Moss made headlines by stepping out in a super-sheer one, and musician Courtney Love introduced slip dresses to the grunge fashion scene. In 2016, Burberry and Saint Laurent included slip dresses in their collections as a nod to the 1990s. Shop a variety of slip dresses on 1stDibs.
- What are slip dresses called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023Slip dresses are sometimes called sleeveless dresses, spaghetti strap dresses or sundresses. However, you may also simply refer to them as slip dresses. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of slip dresses from some of the world's top boutiques.
- What is a short dress called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024What 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.
