The Little White Dress

Posted on 31 July, 2017

Yoko Ono and Audrey Hepburn wowed the fashion crowd when they wore short dresses on their wedding days.

Today, the short white dress is a practical and stylish option that in many cases won’t break the bank. Here are our favourite little white dresses.

Geometric lace is the best friend to this long-sleeved, fit and flare Miss Moonlight Mini Dress from Mossman. The round neck and fitted bodice have a refined elegance and the flared skirt is fun and playful – definitely a party dress!

Dress available at Myer, $209.95.

A traditional wedding dress with a twist, the Winola Textured Fit and Flare Dress from Reiss is only missing the full-length skirt from its classic design. Simply style with special jewellery pieces to create a wedding day outfit completely your own.

Shop the Winola Textured Fit and Flare Dress at David Jones, $460.

Radiate 1960s style in the Jackie Dress designed by Wendy Makin. A defined boat neckline, flowing calf-length skirt and belted empire waist calls to be worn as you make your journey down the aisle.
